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
G# D#7 G#
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
G# G#7 C#
You wonder what came over you why did she treat you so
G# D#7
You sit and drink in sorrow wishing all the hurt would go
G# G#7 C#
Guess you've ask yourself a hundred times what did she see in him
G# D#7 G#
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
D#7 G#
Perhaps you're wondering how a stranger like me could understand
A#7 D#7
But I've got a feeling we're in the same boat my friend
G# G#7 C#
Just like you I lost my darling she just walked away with him
G# D#7 G#
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
