AD
Sally called when she got the word.
EAE
And she said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice".
A
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
DE
and I could hardly believe my eyes.
EAE
And the big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive.
A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
EAE
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
EDAE
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.
AD
We grew up together, two kids in the park.
EAE
We carved our initials, deep in the bark. Me and Alice
A
Now she walks to the door with her head held high
D
just for a moment I caught her eye
EAE
As the limousine pulls out, of Alices drive
A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
EAE
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
EDAE
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.
AD
Then Sally called back and asked how I felt,
EAE
And she said: "I know how to help - get over Alice".
A
She said: "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
DE
you know I've been waiting for twenty-four years..."
N.C
And the big limousine disapeared...
A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
EAE
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
EDAE
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.
EDA
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
