[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][D][G][A][D][A][Bm][D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Eight
years old [Bm]with a floursack[D]cape
Tied [G]all [A]around [D]his neck
He climbed up [Bm]on the garag[D]e
[G]Figurin' what the [A]heck
He [D]screwed his courage [Bm]up so [D]tight
The [G]whole thing [A]came unwound
[D]He got a runnin' sta[A]rt and ble[Bm]ss his heart
[D]He hea[G]ded for[A] the ground
[D]

[Verse 2]
He's [Bm]one of those [D]who knows that life
Is [G]just a leap [D]of faith
Spread your arms [Bm]and hold [D]your breath
[G]Always [A]trust your cape

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][Bm][D][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]All grown [A]up with [Bm]a fl[D]oursack cape
[G]Tied [A]around [D]his dreams
He was full of spit and [Bm]vinegar
He [D]was [G]bustin' at the seam[A]s
He [D]licked his [A]finger and he
[Bm]checked the wind
[D]It was gon[G]na be do [A]or [D]die
He wasn't [A]scared of nothin' [Bm]boys
[A]And he was [G]pretty sure [A]he could fly
[D]

[Verse 4]
He's [Bm]one of those [D]who knows that life
Is [G]just a leap [D]of faith
Spread [A]your arms and
[Bm]hold [D]your breath
[G]Always [A]trust your cape

[Verse 5]
[D]Old and grey [Bm]with a flour[D]sack cape
Tied [G]all around [A]his [D]head
He's still jumpin' off the gar[A]age
[G]Will be till he's [A]dead
[D]All these years [A]the people [Bm]said
[A]He's act[G]in' like a k[A]id[D]
He [A]did not know he [Bm]could not [A]fly[G]
[A]So he did
[D]

[Verse 6]
He's [Bm]one of those who [D]knows that life
[A]Is jus[G]t a leap of [D]faith
Spread your [A]arms and
[Bm]hold [D]your breath
[G]Always [A]trust your cape
