[Verse 1]
Skateboarding is not a hobby, [Am]and it's not a sport
Skateboarding is a way of learning how to
[G]redefine the world around you
It's a way of getting out of the house,
[Em]connecting with other people
And looking at the world through
different sets of eye[F]s

[Verse 2]
When you're a [Am]skateboarder
, especially [G]in [Em]the 1970s
[G]When everyone thought
it was a hobby
They all thought it was like,
[Am]a strange version of a yo- yo or[Em] a hula- hoop
It was, it was [G]very under
[Em]the radar
[G]For most people

[Verse 3]
when they
[Em]saw a swimming pool
They thought, [G]"Let's take a [Am]swim"
But I thought, "Let's ride it,
let's see what the transition is like at the bottom"
When they [Em]saw a street,
they would think about driving on it
I would think about the texture
I slowly developed an ability [G]I think,
[F]to look at the [Am]world
Through totally differ[F]ent [Am]means

[Verse 4]
I had a whole other idea [Am]of
what was happening
[Em]Weather played a very different
role in my life at that time
If [G]it rained, like today would
[Em]be a miserable day for [Am]me
So I became [Am]a skateboarder
