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

       D#     F
We are North Americans

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

            D#     F
We're like, no



C
We've been on planes and on trains

                                     D#     F
Till we think we might die, far from North America

C
Where the buildings are old

                                     D#     F
And you might have lots of mimes



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

            D#     F
'Case we're North Americans

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

                    D#     F
It makes it go away



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

           D#     F
When we're North Americans

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

         D#     F
Come on, North America!


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

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

C
And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene

        D#     F
Here in North America

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

                    D#    F
We don't have those



C
So where's the love, where's the love,

                         D#    F
Where's the love tonight

C
But there's no love man,

                                         D#    F
There's no love and the kids are uptight



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

         D#     F
Let's go North America

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

       D#    F
Sorry



C
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               D#     F
Freaked out in North America

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

           D#     F
Let's rock North America


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

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

C  (A#)  C  (A#)   C  (A#)
Ahh...
       D#     F
We are North American

C
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent

           D#     F
We're from North America

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



C
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          D#     F
Here in North America

C
but New York's the only place

                                    D#    F
We're keeping them off the street



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

             D#     F
Shut down in North America

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



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

         D#     F
Alright, North America

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

             D#     F
'Cause we're North Americans!


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

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

C  (A#)  C  (A#)   C  (A#)
Ahh...
       D#     F
We are North American




C
Take me back to the States man

D#     F        C
North American scum

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

   D#     F
in North America


C
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        D#     F        C
Here in North American scum

C
But don't blame the Canadians

          D#     F
Look out, North America
