Dr. Hook - Living Next Door To Alice chords
Start Jamming...
I called and she got the word, [D] she said I suppose you heard, [E]
[A] that Alice.
[E]
[A] So I rushed to the window and down the tap side, and I could hardly believe my eyes,
[E] As the pain was equaled slowly [A] into Alice's drag.
[E]
Oh, [A] 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,
Cause [E] for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice.
Alice, [E] oh that fucking Alice.
[A] For 24 years just waiting for a chance,
[D] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a sick defense,
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice.
Alice, [E] oh that fucking Alice.
[A] We're out together, two kids in the park,
[D] Carved our initials deep in the park, [E]
[A] me and Alice.
[E]
[A] And she walks through the door in a red L-type,
[D] Just for a moment I caught her eye,
[E] As the pain was equaled slowly [A] into Alice's drag.
[E]
[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,
[E] Cause for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice.
Alice, [E] oh that fucking Alice.
[A] For 24 years just waiting for a chance,
[D] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a sick defense,
[E] Now I gotta get used to not living next door [A] to Alice.
Alice, [E] oh that fucking Alice.
[A] Sally called back, asked how I felt,
[D] She said, I know how to help [E]
you [A] over Alice,
[E]
She [A] said now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
[D] You know I've been waiting 24 years,
[E] And the big limousine disappeared.
[F#] [A] 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,
[E] Cause for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice.
Alice, [E] oh that fucking Alice.
[A] For 24 years just waiting for a chance,
[D] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a sick defense,
[E] Now I'll never get used to not [D] living next door [A] to Alice.
Alice, oh that fucking Alice.
[E] Now I'll never get used to not living next door to [A] Alice.
