[A] I don't know why she's leaving, don't know 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'm feeling, maybe get a second guess
how [E] I got it in Houston, [D] I'm living next door [A] to Alice.
[E]
[A] We grew up together, some kids in the park,
[D] carved our initials deep in the bark, [E]
[A] being in Alice.
As [E]
[A] she walks through the door, with her hand held high,
[D] shimmer of a moon, I caught her eye.

[E]
Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving, don't know 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.

[G]
If you [D] want my sympathy, [G]
just open [D] your heart to me.
[G]
You'll get [D] whatever you [A] ever need.
You [G]
think [D] that's too high for you, [G] or would be, [D] I would die.
[G]
If there's [D] nothing left, then go where [A] I'll be.
You stay back [Bm] in the arms of someone.
