VERSES
E
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin

       G     A
We are North Americans

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

            G     A
We're like, no



E
We've been on planes and on trains

                                     G     A
Till we think we might die, far from North America

E
Where the buildngs are old

                                     G     A
And you might have lots of mimes



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

            G     A 
'Case we're North Americans

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

                    G     A
It makes it go away



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

           G     A
When we're North Americans

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

         G     A
Come on, North America

CHORUS
E             G     A        E

Ahh... We're from North America

VERSES
E
And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene

        G     A
Here in North America

E
Well now your kids get to read it in your magizines

                    G    A
We don't have those



E
So where's the love, where's the love, 

                         G    A
Where's the love tonight

E
But there's no love man, 

                                         G    A
There's no love and the kids are uptight



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

         G     A
Let's go North America

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

       G    A
Sorry



E
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset

               G     A
Freaked out in North America

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

           G     A
Let's rock North America

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

           G     A
We're from North America

E                                                  G    A
It's the furthest you can live from the government



E
Some proud American Christians might disagree

          G     A
Here in North America

E
but New York's the only place

                                    G    A
We're keeping them off the street



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

             G     A
Shut down in North America

E                                                     G    A
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright



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

         G     A
Alright, North America

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

             G     A
'Cause we're North Americans

Take me back to the States man

G     A        E
North American scum

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

   G     A
in North America


E
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame

        G     A        E
Here in North American scum

E
But don't blame the Canadians

          G     A
Look out, North America
