G
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin
A# C
We are North Americans
G
And for those of you who still think we're from England
A# C
We're like, no
G
We've been on planes and on trains
A# C
Till we think we might die, far from North America
G
Where the buildings are old
A# C
And you might have lots of mimes
G
I hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way
A# C
'Case we're North Americans
G
But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
A# C
It makes it go away
G
Oh, I don't know, oh, where to begin
A# C
When we're North Americans
G
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again
A# C
Come on, North America!

G
And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene
A# C
Here in North America
G
Well now your kids get to read it in your magazines
A# C
We don't have those
G
So where's the love, where's the love,
A# C
Where's the love tonight
G
But there's no love man,
A# C
There's no love and the kids are uptight
G
So throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up
A# C
Let's go North America
G
Oh, you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt
A# C
Sorry
G
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset
A# C
Freaked out in North America
G
But then I said the more I do it, the better it gets
A# C
Let's rock North America
[chorus]
G (F) G (F) G (F)

[verse]
G
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
A# C
We're from North America
G A# C
It's the furthest you can live from the government
G
Some proud American Christians might disagree
A# C
Here in North America
G
but New York's the only place
A# C
We're keeping them off the street
G
Now we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night
A# C
Shut down in North America
G A# C
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright
G
You see, I love this place that I've grown to know
A# C
Alright, North America
G
And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole
A# C
'Cause we're North Americans!

G
Take me back to the States man
A# C G
North American scum
G
Well, we could be where we want to be in
A# C
in North America
G
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame
A# C G
Here in North American scum
G
But don't blame the Canadians
A# C
Look out, North America
