Careless
Lunatic Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Careless just won't cut it anymore
A candid approach just won't hold
See, there were times when I felt more content
But lately I'm on a darker road
Careless just won't cut it
Anymore

Why I fight shy of a quarrel
Baby, I just don't know
But in time I hope I
Realign
And I
I'll find time
For you

Careless, I ain't got it
The fervour in me just won't dwell
See, there were times when I felt more content
Careless just won't cut it anymore

Why I fight shy of a quarrel
Baby, I just don't know
But in time I hope I
Realign
And I




I'll find time
For you

@FresherSeth

Recently saw this pass through my feed and had to look into more of your work. Keep it up, sounds great! Btw what two chords do you slide up to play? It sounds like D but also something else?

@LunaticWolfBand

Thanks Seth! Appreciate the kind words. Guitar is tuned to (E-B-Gb-D-A-E) with a capo on the third fret. Chord prog is Cminor (x-3-5-6-4-x) then I slide up to Cminor7 (x-3-10-9-11-x), then to F7 (x-8-10-9-10), then to Bb (6-x-3-4-3-x) and finally to Gm (3-x-5-3-3-x). If you'd like you can DM me and I'll send a tab through. Stay cool! :) Gav
