[Intro]
(one guitar)
 
E  Bsus4  Asus2  Bsus4
 
(whole band comes in)
 
C#m7   Bsus4  C#m7   Bsus4

[Verse 1]
 
E             Bsus4
   My name is Luka
Asus2            Bsus4
   I live on the second floor
E           Bsus4
   I live upstairs from you
Asus2                  Bsus4
   Yes, I think you've seen me before
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
C#m7           Bsus4                C#m7
   If you hear something late at night
                Bsus4                  Asus2
   Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
               Bsus4
   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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E               Bsus4
   I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
Asus2           Bsus4
   I try not to talk too loud
E               Bsus4
   Maybe it's because I'm crazy
Asus2           Bsus4
   I try not to act too proud
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C#m7         Bsus4          C#m7
  They only hit until you cry
      Bsus4              Asus2
After that you don't ask why
               Bsus4
You just don't argue anymore
Asus2            Bsus4
  You just don't argue anymore
Asus2           (Bsus4)
  You just don't argue anymore
 
 
[Solo]
 
E  Bsus4  Asus2  Bsus4    E  Bsus4  Asus2  Bsus4
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E         Bsus4
   Yes, I think I'm okay
Asus2              Bsus4
   Walked into the door again
E         Bsus4
   If you ask that's what I'll say
Asus2                 Bsus4
   And it's not your business anyway
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
C#m7          Bsus4         C#m7
  I guess I'd like to be alone
         Bsus4          Asus2
Nothing broken, nothing thrown
           Bsus4
Just don't ask me how I am
Asus2         Bsus4
   Just don't ask me how I am
Asus2         (Bsus4)
   Just don't ask me how I am
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
E             Bsus4
   My name is Luka
Asus2            Bsus4
   I live on the second floor
E           Bsus4
   I live upstairs from you
Asus2                  Bsus4

[Chorus 1]
 
C#m7           Bsus4              C#m7
   If you hear something late at night
                Bsus4                  Asus2
   Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
               Bsus4
   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
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C#m7          Bsus4          C#m7
   They only hit until you cry
           Bsus4             Asus2
And after that you don't ask why
               Bsus4
You just don't argue anymore
Asus2             Bsus4
   You just don't argue anymore
Asus2            (Bsus4)
   You just don't argue anymore

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.

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!

I think it is a very good tab, but could you please write the chords on top of the whole song and not just at the first verse? It is hard to read the lyrics and the chords at the same time. :)
