[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]

[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
G           G/F#      Em
Spread your arms and hold your breath
     C      D          G
And always trust your cape

[Chorus]
           Em                D
Yes 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
