Capo II
Key of E

Don’t ask me how I’m feeling
You don’t want to know
My heart got beaten in an alley at night
I hope it doesn’t show

Going, going, gone
That’s my chances with you
Don’t ask me how I’m feeling
My answer won’t be true



[Chorus]
I shouldn’t be here
It isn’t healthy
My heart’s out of tune
And now I’m singing off key
I’m speechless baby
And I’m waiting for you to see
It doesn’t matter what I do
You make me sing off key



Don’t ask me how I’m feeling
I’m better every day
When I see you, I still can’t decide
Whether to run to you or run away

How can you not know
When it all shows on my face?
Don’t ask me how I’m feeling
Cuz I’ve already lost this race



[Chorus]
I shouldn’t be here
It isn’t healthy
My heart’s out of tune
And now I’m singing off key
I’m speechless baby
And I’m waiting for you to see
It doesn’t matter what I do
You make me sing off key



[Bridge]
I asked for a sign; I can’t complain
I asked for water, now you’re making it rain
I asked you, baby, to give me all the facts
And now that I have them, I want to take it back



I woke up one morning
And everything had changed
And it’s killing me, dear,
Cuz you think everything is still the same

Would it be too hard, baby,
for you to stay away?
Don’t ask me how I’m feeling
Cuz I don’t want to say



[Chorus]
I shouldn’t be here
It isn’t healthy
My heart’s out of tune
And now I’m singing off key
I’m speechless baby
And I’m waiting for you to see
It doesn’t matter what I do
You make me sing off key

This is a song I wrote recently...yes, it's in the same key as my other song, but technically they're capo'd differently so they're played in different keys :P
