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

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
