Great song. Love that little plaintive, pre-chorus lick. This sounds right to me.
Intro: A
Verse:
[A]Irresponsibility's my clo[F]sest friend[G]
[A]Forget my duty I couldn't give a shit (obligation)[F][G]
[E]Tell my about the city ordinance[A]
[E]Tell me that we're insubordinate[A]
Pre-Chorus/Guitar Lick:
|--------------|
|--------------|
|---7-6-2-4----| x2

|--------------|
Plan tomorrow, money to borrow
Chorus:
I couldn't care[D] less, [A]care le[D]ss[A][E]
Couldn't care [D]less, [A]care le[D]ss[A][E]
I'm ca[D]reles[A]s, car[D]eless[A][E]
And that's the way I stay
Verse:
I never pay attention, watch my step
Never pay my bills, way in debt
Tell my about the fuckin' ordinance
Tell me that we're insubordinate
Pre-Chorus/Guitar Lick:
Plan tomorrow, money to borrow
Chorus:
I couldn't care less, care less
Couldn't care less, care less
So careless, careless
Yeah that's the way I stay
Bridge:
[E] [D] [E] [D] [E] [D] [E] [E]
Chorus:
Stay
Careless, careless...
Yeah careless is the way I'll stay
End on A.
