Verse:
C Am
Eight years old with a flour sack cape
F C
Tied all around his neck
C Am
He climbed up on the garage

Figurin' what the heck
C Am
He screwed his courage up so tight
F C
The whole thing came unwound
C Am
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
F C
He headed for the ground
Chorus:
Am C
Well he's one of those who knows that life
F C
Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath
F C
And always trust your cape

Verse:
C Am
All grown up with a flour sack cape
F C
Tied all around his dreams
C Am
He's full of piss and vinegar
F C
He's bustin’ at the seams
C Am
He licked his finger and checked the wind
F C
It's gonna be do or die
C Am
He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys
F C
He was pretty sure he could fly

Spread your arms and hold your breath
F C
And always trust your cape

C Am
Now he’s old and grey with a flour sack cape
F C
Tied all around his head
C Am
He's still jumpin' off the garage
F C
And will be 'till he's dead
C Am
All these years the people said
F C
He's actin’ like a kid
C Am
He did not know he could not fly
F C
So he did

Am C
Well he's one of those who knows that life

Is just a leap of faith

Spread your arms and hold your breath
F C
And always trust your cape
