Great song. Love that little plaintive, pre-chorus lick. This sounds right to me. Intro: A Verse:
A                        F                G
Irresponsibility's my closest friend

A                                                       F        G
Forget my duty I couldn't give a shit (obligation)

E                                 A
Tell my about the city ordinance

E                                   A
Tell me that we're insubordinate
