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

       D     E
We are North Americans

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

            D     E
We're like, no



B
We've been on planes and on trains

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

B
Where the buildings are old

                                     D     E
And you might have lots of mimes



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

            D     E
'Case we're North Americans

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

                    D     E
It makes it go away



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

           D     E
When we're North Americans

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

         D     E
Come on, North America!


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

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

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

        D     E
Here in North America

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

                    D    E
We don't have those



B
So where's the love, where's the love,

                         D    E
Where's the love tonight

B
But there's no love man,

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



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

         D     E
Let's go North America

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

       D    E
Sorry



B
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               D     E
Freaked out in North America

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

           D     E
Let's rock North America


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

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

B  (A)  B  (A)   B  (A)
Ahh...
       D     E
We are North American

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

           D     E
We're from North America

B                                                  D    E
It's the furthest you can live from the government



B
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          D     E
Here in North America

B
but New York's the only place

                                    D    E
We're keeping them off the street



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

             D     E
Shut down in North America

B                                                     D    E
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright



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

         D     E
Alright, North America

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

             D     E
'Cause we're North Americans!


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

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

B  (A)  B  (A)   B  (A)
Ahh...
       D     E
We are North American




B
Take me back to the States man

D     E        B
North American scum

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

   D     E
in North America


B
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        D     E        B
Here in North American scum

B
But don't blame the Canadians

          D     E
Look out, North America
