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

       C     D
We are North Americans

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

            C     D
We're like, no



A
We've been on planes and on trains

                                     C     D
Till we think we might die, far from North America

A
Where the buildings are old

                                     C     D
And you might have lots of mimes



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

            C     D
'Case we're North Americans

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

                    C     D
It makes it go away



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

           C     D
When we're North Americans

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

         C     D
Come on, North America!


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

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

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

        C     D
Here in North America

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

                    C    D
We don't have those



A
So where's the love, where's the love,

                         C    D
Where's the love tonight

A
But there's no love man,

                                         C    D
There's no love and the kids are uptight



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

         C     D
Let's go North America

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

       C    D
Sorry



A
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               C     D
Freaked out in North America

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

           C     D
Let's rock North America


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

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

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

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

           C     D
We're from North America

A                                                  C    D
It's the furthest you can live from the government



A
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          C     D
Here in North America

A
but New York's the only place

                                    C    D
We're keeping them off the street



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

             C     D
Shut down in North America

A                                                     C    D
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright



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

         C     D
Alright, North America

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

             C     D
'Cause we're North Americans!


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

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

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




A
Take me back to the States man

C     D        A
North American scum

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

   C     D
in North America


A
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        C     D        A
Here in North American scum

A
But don't blame the Canadians

          C     D
Look out, North America
