  			G                            G7        C 
I beg your pardon mister for intruding privacy 

      G                                           D7 
I was sitting on the barstool I couldn't help but see 

       G                                      G7                C 
By the way you've been drinking it must be an awful mood you're in 

           G                                   D7             G 
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim 

  
G                                 G7                C 
You wonder what came over you why did she treat you so 

    G                                                  D7 
You sit and drink in sorrow wishing all the hurt would go 

      G                                        G7             C 
Guess you've ask yourself a hundred times what did she see in him 
  
           G                                   D7             G 
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim 

  
               D7                            G 
Perhaps you're wondering how a stranger like me could understand 

A7                                  D7 
But I've got a feeling we're in the same boat my friend 

     G                                   G7               C 
Just like you I lost my darling she just walked away with him 

           G                                   D7             G 
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim 

C          G                                   D7             G 
You're not drowning your heartache you're just teaching it to swim
