Got a little more swagger in his style
Ab
Met his girlfriend,

she was clapping in the crowd

Love is what was happening to him now, uh
He said "I would marry you
But I'm engaged to
these aerials and varials
Ab
And I don't think this board is
strong enough to carry two"
Cm
Db
She said "Bow,
Cm
I weigh a hundred and twenty pounds
Now, let me make one thing clear
I don't need to ride yours,
I got mine right here"
Ab
So she took him to a spot he

Some modern apartment parking lot
She said "I don't normally
take dates in here"
Security came and said "I'm sorry,
there's no skating here"

They would push 'til they couldn't
skate no more
Office building lobbies
wasn't safe no more
Ab
And it wasn't like they wasn't
Cm
getting chased no more
Db
Just the freedom was better
Cm
than breathing they said (they said)
An escape route they
used to escape out
When things got crazy,
they needed to break out
Ab
Cm
They head to any place with stairs
Db
Cm
Any good grinds, the world was theirs, uh
And they four wheels
would take 'em there
Until the cops came and said
"There's no skating here"
