The River of Dreams - Billy Joel
[Chorus 1]
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
From the mountains of faith to the river so deep
G G
I must be looking for something, something sacred I lost
C D
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross
[Verse 1]
Em D
Even though I know the river is wide
C Bm
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
C Bm
I try to cross to the opposite side
A7 D
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
[Chorus 2]
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the valley of fear to a river so deep
G G
I've been searching for something taken out of my soul
C D
Something I could never lose, something somebody stole
[Verse 2]
Em D
I don't know why I go walking at night
C Bm
But now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore
C Bm
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
A7 D
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
[Chorus 3]
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the jungle of doubt to the river so deep
G G
I know I'm searching for something, something so undefined
C D
That it only can be seen by the eyes of the blind
G C D
In the middle of the night
[Verse 3]
Em D
Not sure about a life after this
C Bm
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
C Bm A7
Baptized by fire, I wade into the river
D
That is runnin' through the promised land
[Chorus 4]
G G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
C D
Through the desert of truth to the river so deep
G G
We all end in the ocean, we all start in the streams
C D
We're all carried along by the river of dreams
G
In the middle of the night
