1.    Lookin' 'round at all the faces,         I can see they're all the sa...me,

Am                                      G     C   - Am                                   C - G

    drifting shadows on the sidewalk,        slowly walking in the rai.....n.

F                   - C                        - G                 - Am

    The moon        shines down,        she sees,        she knows,

F           - C            - G                      - Am

    and I       follow        through rain           and sun.

 

F                              G                    Am                        G                     F

    But you see I'm walking in my sleep (you see I’m walking in my sleep)

                     G                   Am                      - G

and I don't know how I got here (don’t know         how).

F                      G                     Am                        G                     F      - G

    And when I try to keep the beat, you see I'm walking in my sleep.

 

 Am                                     G   C    - Am                                        C  G

2. Didn't know that I was dreaming,       sunny days come out of midnight,

Am                                   G    C   - Am                                      C - G

    in the darkness of the evening         running softly from the li....ght.

F                   - C                        - G                 - Am

    The moon        shines down,        she sees,        she knows,

F               - C                 - G              - Am

    the star,       the end,        the tide,         the flow.

F                  - C               - G              - Am

    The night       so black,       it looks           so real,

F          - C             - G                Am

    am I       awake        or am I dreaming still ?

 

F                              G                    Am                        G                     F

    But you see I'm walking in my sleep (you see I’m walking in my sleep)

                     G                   Am                      - G

and I don't know how I got here (don’t know         how).

F                      G                     Am                        G                     F      - G

    And when I try to keep the beat, you see I'm walking in my sleep.

    F                      - C                          - G                  - Am

+     And through        this nightmare        the dream          unfolds,

F             - C                 - G                 - Am

    I'm by       a window,        the night         is cold.

F                - C                 - G               - Am

    My mind,      my body,       my room         this heat,

F               - C                 - G        - Am

    a drain        is pouring       into          the street.

 

F                              G                    Am                        G                     F

    But you see I'm walking in my sleep (you see I’m walking in my sleep)

                     G                   Am                      - G

and I don't know how I got here (don’t know         how).

F                      G                     Am                        G                     F      - G

    And when I try to keep the beat, you see I'm walking in my sleep.
