_ Sally called and she got the word
[D] _ _ She said, I suppose you've heard [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] about Alice
_ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside
_ [D] But I could hardly believe my [E] eyes
A big limousine rolled up _ _ [A] into Alice's drive
[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
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [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 [A] door to Alice
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] We grew up together, two kids in the [D] park
_ Carved our initials deep in the bar, [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] reading Alice
Now [E] _
_ _ _ [A] she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
Just for a moment I caught her [E] eye
A big limousine pulled slowly [A] out of Alice's drive
[Em] _
_ [C#m] _ [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 [A] door to Alice
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [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 [A] door to Alice
_ _ [E] _
_ [C#m] _ _ [A] Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
[D] _ She said, I know how to help [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] your older Alice
She [E] _
_ [C#m] _ [A] said, now Alice is gone but I'm still here
[D] You know I've been waiting for 24 years
[E] And _ the big limousine disappeared
_ I [G#m]
[A] 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
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A]
24 years just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[E] But I'll never get used to [D] not living next [A] door to Alice
_ _ _ _ _ [E] No, I'll never get used to [D] not living next _ door [A] to Alice _ _
