[Verse 1]
F#                C#m           
Who will save the river valley? 
G#m                Bm7
That's my drinking water
F#              C#m               
This was once a sacred place now, 
G#m                Bm7
look at what we've got here
B                  G      
I'll pretend there isn't any 
   A   E         A     E
problem, just do my job
B                        G       
And, if I don't like the standard
            A  C#      F#
 of living, go move to Russia

[Verse 2]
F#               C#m        
Me an' Pete went swimming last 
          G#m                 
night, he's my friend from Boy 
Bm7
Scouts
F#                C#m            
All the fish were floating 
   G#m                Bm7
upright, we got scared, and we got 
out
B                 G              
Mother says don't play down where
      A E    A        E
 your father does his job
B                    G            
You know he's got to make a living
 A  C#      F#
 or move to Russia

[Bridge]
F#         C#m               F# 
This is my world, this is my 
                  C#m
world, don't make it go away

F#      C#m                F#   
Is it a crime, spending my time,
             C#m
 dreaming of yesterday

[Verse 3]
F#             C#m           G#m
Meet me in the river valley, you
             Bm7
 can tell me stories
F#             C#m               
'Bout a time before pinstripe 
    G#m                 Bm7
suits, dippers, grits, and tories
B                  G             
My mother sang the songs her 
   A      E      A      E
mother taught her
B                G                
We'd be swimming off in cool cool 
A E      A      E
water
Bm                     G
And when she'd call us from the yard
Bm              G
Running home it felt like god

This is  my world

Don't take it A   way

[Verse 4]
F#               C#m             
Is your favorite place controlled
    G#m          Bm7
 by developing ambitions?
F#                  C#m          
Do you think you'll have some 
   G#m         Bm7
power signing a petition?
G#                D#m            
Are you fine with your 
    A#m            C7
surroundings? Are they gonna 
crumble?
G#                D#m           
I'm living in the river valley, 
A#m              C7
come and join me for a tumble!

G#                     D#m
High up above, see the cars above 
the viaduct
A#m                      C7      
From sunrise to the last call, 
              G#
they push their luck
G#                D#m
But that would be fine
A#m              C7              
If the world was yours, and you 
    G#
were mine
