My name is Luka

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

Just don't ask me what it was
Asus2 Bsus4
Just don't ask me what it was
Asus2 Bsus4
Just don't ask me what it was
Maybe it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

[guitar solo]
Yes, I think I'm okay
Walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor

Just don't ask me what it was

You just don't argue anymore

By the way, I didn't work this song out. A friend did.
A great tab sounds good and even better when just solo acoustic guitar. Prob no actually the BEST version of this tab I have seen thanks a million!
Here it is live... sounds good to me

Good effort, you are the only tabber of this song that mentions the Capo on the 2nd fret (which is rather important) The others have those stupid F# chords etc. which has you breaking your fingers trying to play them.
