[verse]
D
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin

       F     G
We are North Americans

D
And for those of you who still think we're from England

            F     G
We're like, no



D
We've been on planes and on trains

                                     F     G
Till we think we might die, far from North America

D
Where the buildings are old

                                     F     G
And you might have lots of mimes



D
I hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way

            F     G
'Case we're North Americans

D
But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay

                    F     G
It makes it go away



D
Oh, I don't know, oh, where to begin

           F     G
When we're North Americans

D
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again

         F     G
Come on, North America!


[chorus]
D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
       F     G        D
We are North American scum

D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
           F     G        D
We're from North America

[verse]
D
And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene

        F     G
Here in North America

D
Well now your kids get to read it in your magazines

                    F    G
We don't have those



D
So where's the love, where's the love,

                         F    G
Where's the love tonight

D
But there's no love man,

                                         F    G
There's no love and the kids are uptight



D
So throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up

         F     G
Let's go North America

D
Oh, you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt

       F    G
Sorry



D
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               F     G
Freaked out in North America

D
But then I said the more I do it, the better it gets

           F     G
Let's rock North America


[chorus]
D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)

We are North American scum

D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
           F     G        D
We're from North America

D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
       F     G
We are North American

D
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent

           F     G
We're from North America

D                                                  F    G
It's the furthest you can live from the government



D
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          F     G
Here in North America

D
but New York's the only place

                                    F    G
We're keeping them off the street



D
Now we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night

             F     G
Shut down in North America

D                                                     F    G
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright



D
You see, I love this place that I've grown to know

         F     G
Alright, North America

D
And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole

             F     G
'Cause we're North Americans!


[chorus]
D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
       F     G        D
We are North American scum

D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
           F     G        D
We're from North America

D  (C)  D  (C)   D  (C)
Ahh...
       F     G
We are North American




D
Take me back to the States man

F     G        D
North American scum

D
Well, we could be where we want to be in

   F     G
in North America


D
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        F     G        D
Here in North American scum

D
But don't blame the Canadians

          F     G
Look out, North America
