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

       E     F#
We are North Americans

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

            E     F#
We're like, no



C#
We've been on planes and on trains

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

C#
Where the buildings are old

                                     E     F#
And you might have lots of mimes



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

            E     F#
'Case we're North Americans

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

                    E     F#
It makes it go away



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

           E     F#
When we're North Americans

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

         E     F#
Come on, North America!


[chorus]
C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
       E     F#        C#
We are North American scum

C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
           E     F#        C#
We're from North America

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

        E     F#
Here in North America

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

                    E    F#
We don't have those



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

                         E    F#
Where's the love tonight

C#
But there's no love man,

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



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

         E     F#
Let's go North America

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

       E    F#
Sorry



C#
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               E     F#
Freaked out in North America

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

           E     F#
Let's rock North America


[chorus]
C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
       E     F#        C#
We are North American scum

C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
           E     F#        C#

C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)

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

           E     F#
We're from North America

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



C#
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          E     F#
Here in North America

C#
but New York's the only place

                                    E    F#
We're keeping them off the street



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

             E     F#
Shut down in North America

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



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

         E     F#
Alright, North America

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

             E     F#
'Cause we're North Americans!


[chorus]
C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
       E     F#        C#
We are North American scum

C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
           E     F#        C#
We're from North America

C#  (B)  C#  (B)   C#  (B)
Ahh...
       E     F#
We are North American




C#
Take me back to the States man

E     F#        C#
North American scum

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

   E     F#
in North America


C#
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        E     F#        C#
Here in North American scum

C#
But don't blame the Canadians

          E     F#
Look out, North America
