Verse 1
F 
I remember  (F major) the first time I came to Canada,
G 
E 
the  (G major) big difference I  (E major) noticed
F 
was  (F major) that things are measured differently,
right?
A 
Temperature  (A major) and distance.
F 
 (F major) And I remember at the time being like,
well that's annoying.
And then eventually I realized
Bm 
it wasn't just  (B minor) Canada,
C 
F 
it  (C major) was the entire world.  (F major) 
That uses the metric system.
Except for us!
And I tell you, it was strange as an American
to realize every other country on the planet
was wrong. Right?
It should change for us,
because we all know
C 
G 
 (C major) God loves  (G major) America  more.
F 
G 
F 
 (F major) And that  (G major) love is measured  (F major) in feet.
Now, here's how I can tell
the way Americans measure
things is annoying.
Because occasionally,
you'll run into a British person
G 
who will announce their  (G major) weight in stones.
F 
C 
F 
 (F major) I'm  (C major) the elite 12  (F major) stone.
I'm sorry, are you a caveman?
We eat your 12 rock.
We establish that log.
How do the English say stone
with a straight face?
How do you condescend to
the entire world
when you're weighing yourself
in boulders?
We're going to leave the EU
and return to our pebble economy.
