I beg your pardon mister for intruding privacy

I was sitting on the barstool I couldn't help but see

By the way you've been drinking it must be an awful mood you're in
A E7 A
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
A A7 D
You wonder what came over you why did she treat you so
A E7
You sit and drink in sorrow wishing all the hurt would go
A A7 D
Guess you've ask yourself a hundred times what did she see in him
A E7 A
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
E7 A
Perhaps you're wondering how a stranger like me could understand
B7 E7
But I've got a feeling we're in the same boat my friend
A A7 D
Just like you I lost my darling she just walked away with him
A E7 A
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
