[Verse]
       G                       C          G                      D
I was born and raised in an artists garden here in Missouri
G                            C                         G          D
And moved right down to Brooklyn in a whirlwind back five years ago or so
G                C              G              D
Country simpleton midwest small town walking architype
G                C                  G          D
Working amongst the skyscrapers ******* of winter
 
[Pre-chorus]
G           C                             D
And I promised myself I would never be a sell out
G                C                        D
And I promised myself that I would never be a fake
 
[Chorus]
G        C       G        D
Dont ever change me New York City
                    C           D
Cause I am uncomfortable around money
          C                 D
I am uncomfortable around politicians
G         C        G          D
Dont ever change me New York City
             C                  D
Cause i am uncomfortable around money
         C                  D         G
I am uncomfortable around artificial people

[Verse]
         G                       C
You know last week at the annual meeting
        G                 D
I was drunk on cash bar whiskey
G                        C           G                      D
Alex you said you were miserable and going to quit your job here
G                        C            G                    D
You said that your old cruel boss was slowly grinding you down
G                     C            G                   D
Maybe i commiserated with you, maybe i felt the same way
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G                  C                             D
And i promised myself that i would never be a peon
G                  C                            D
And i promised myself that i would never be a fool
 
[Chorus]
G        C       G        D
Dont ever change me New York City
                    C           D
Cause I am uncomfortable around money
          C                 D
I am uncomfortable around blind ambition
G         C        G          D
Dont ever change me New York City
             C                  D
Cause i am uncomfortable around money
         C                  D         G
I am uncomfortable around artificial people
 
[Verse]
G               C                       G                           D
Lately ive been tired of trying to be New-York-thin like everybody else
G              C              G                  D
Ive had weight fluctuations and felt bad about myself
G                   C                      G                   D
I dont know when it is I got to be so obsessed with stuff like that
G                            C              G                      D
But it is up there on the billboards, these beautiful people mocking me
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G                C                          D
And I promised you that Id never be that shallow
G               C                         D
And I promised you that Id never be that vain
 
G        C       G        D
Dont ever change me New York City
                    C           D
Cause I am uncomfortable around money
          C                 D
I am uncomfortable around beautiful people
G         C        G          D
Dont ever change me New York City
             C                  D
Cause i am uncomfortable around money
         C                  D         G
I am uncomfortable around artificial people
 
[Verse]
G               C                         G                      D
I am seeing a beautiful man from just a fifteen minute walk from here
G              C                  G               D
I honestly dont know what i would do without him now
G                    C               G              D
I still cringe when I recall single life in the city now
G             C                    G                  D
Cynical and racid* yeah crying there on the concrete there
 
[Pre-Chorus]
G                   C                             D
Yeah i promised myself that i would never be a drifter
G                   C                         D
Yeah i promised myself that i would never die alone
 
G        C       G        D
Dont ever change me New York City
                    C           D
Cause I am uncomfortable around money
          C                 D
I am uncomfortable around financiers
G         C        G          D
Dont ever change me New York City
             C                  D
Cause i am uncomfortable around money
         C                  D         G
I am uncomfortable around artificial people
