Sally called, and she got the [D] word.
She said, I suppose you heard, [E] about [A] Alice.
[E]
[A] Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside, [D] and I could hardly believe my eyes.
[E] It's a big human scene, and we've moved on, [A] into Alice's drive.
[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.
[Em] [C#m]
[A] 24 years, just waiting for a chance, [D] to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance.
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice.

[A] Grew up together, two kids in the [D] park.
Carved our initials deep in the bark, [E]
