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

       A     B
We are North Americans

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

            A     B
We're like, no



F#
We've been on planes and on trains

                                     A     B
Till we think we might die, far from North America

F#
Where the buildings are old

                                     A     B
And you might have lots of mimes



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

            A     B
'Case we're North Americans

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

                    A     B
It makes it go away



F#
Oh, I don't know, oh, where to begin

           A     B
When we're North Americans

F#
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again

         A     B
Come on, North America!


[chorus]
F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
       A     B        F#
We are North American scum

F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
           A     B        F#
We're from North America

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

        A     B
Here in North America

F#
Well now your kids get to read it in your magazines

                    A    B
We don't have those



F#
So where's the love, where's the love,

                         A    B
Where's the love tonight

F#
But there's no love man,

                                         A    B
There's no love and the kids are uptight



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

         A     B
Let's go North America

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

       A    B
Sorry



F#
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               A     B
Freaked out in North America

F#
But then I said the more I do it, the better it gets

           A     B
Let's rock North America


[chorus]
F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
       A     B        F#
We are North American scum

F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
           A     B        F#
We're from North America

F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...

[verse]
F#
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent

           A     B
We're from North America

F#                                                  A    B
It's the furthest you can live from the government



F#
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          A     B
Here in North America

F#
but New York's the only place

                                    A    B
We're keeping them off the street



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

             A     B
Shut down in North America

F#                                                     A    B
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright



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

         A     B
Alright, North America

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

             A     B
'Cause we're North Americans!


[chorus]
F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
       A     B        F#
We are North American scum

F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
           A     B        F#
We're from North America

F#  (E)  F#  (E)   F#  (E)
Ahh...
       A     B
We are North American




F#
Take me back to the States man

A     B        F#
North American scum

F#
Well, we could be where we want to be in

   A     B
in North America


F#
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        A     B        F#
Here in North American scum

F#
But don't blame the Canadians

          A     B
Look out, North America
