Ten years old with thoughts as bold as thoughts can be.

A vague haze of delirium creeps upon me
       G                      Dsus4    D  Dsus4 D 
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see

Nothing to say, nothing to hear, nothing to see.
G            A E            D     A         D/A A
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony.
