[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em
Eight years old with a floursack cape
C D G
Tied all around his neck
G G/F# Em
He climbed up on the garage
C D
He's figurin' what the heck
G Em
Well, he screwed up his courage up so tight
C D G
That the whole thing come unwound
G G/F# Em
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
C D G
He's headed for the ground
[Chorus]
Em D
Well he's one of those who knows that life
C G
Is just a leap of faith
G G/F# Em
Spread your arms and hold your breath
C D G
And always trust your cape
[Interlude]
G G/F# Em D C D G
[Verse 2]
G Em
Now he's all grown up with a floursack cape
C D G
Tied all around his dreams
G Em
And he's full of spit and vinegar
C D
And he's bustin' at the seams
G Em
Well, he licked his finger and he checked the wind
C D G
It's gonna be do or die
G G/F# Em
He wasn't scared of nothin' boys
C D G
He was pretty sure he could fly
[Chorus]
Em D
Well he's one of those who knows that life
C G
Is just a leap of faith
G G/F# Em
Spread your arms and hold your breath
C D G
And always trust your cape

[Verse 3]
G Em
Now he's old and gray with a floursack cape
C D G
Tied all around his head
G G/F# Em
He's still jumpin' off the garage
C D
And will be till he's dead
G Em
All these years the people said
C D G
He was actin' like a kid
G G/F# Em
He did not know he could not fly
C D G
So he did
[Chorus]
Em D
Well he's one of those who knows that life
C G
Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath
C D G
And always trust your cape
