G Em
Eight years old with a flower sack cape
C D G
Tied all around his neck
G Em
He climbed up on the garage
C D
Figurin' what the heck
G Em
He screwed his courage up so tight
C D G
The whole thing came unwound
Em G
He got a runnin' start and bless his heart
C D G
He headed for the ground
Chorus
C
He's one of those who knows that life
Em G
Is just a leap of faith
G Em
Spread your arms and hold your breath
C D G
And always trust your cape
G Em
All grown up with a flour sack cape
C D G
Tie all around his dreams
G Em
He's full of piss and vinegar
C D
He's bustin at the seams
G Em
He licked his finger and checked the wind
C D G
It's gonna be do or die
Em G
He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys
C D G
He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
C
He's one of those who knows that life
Em G
Is just a leap of faith
G Em
Spread your arms and hold your breath
C D G
And always trust your cape
G Em
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
C D G
Tied all around his head
G 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's actin like a kid
Em G C
He did not know he could not fly
D G
So he did
Chorus
C
He's one of those who knows that life
Em G
Is just a leap of faith
G Em
Spread your arms and hold your breath
C D G
And always trust your cape
