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] And 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, no way she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
[E] For 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
[E] [C#m] [A] 24 years just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a sinking glass
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next [A] door to Alice
[E] [C#m] [A] We grew up together, just kids in the [D] park
Carved our initials deep in the bar
[E]
[A] Me and Alice
[Em] [A] Now she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
Just for a moment I [F#m] caught her [E] eye
As the big limousine pulled slowly [A] out of Alice's drive
[E] [C#m] Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving, no way she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
[E] For 24 years I've been living next [A] door to Alice
[E] 24 [C#m] [A]
years just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a sinking glass
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
[E] [C#m] [A] Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
[D] And she said, I know how to [E] help
[A] You're over Alice
[E] [C#m] She [A] said, now Alice is gone but I'm still here
[D] Didn't know I'd been waiting for 24 years
[E]
When the big limousine disappeared
[F#]
[A] I don't know why she's leaving, no way she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
For [E] 24 years I've been living [E] 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 sinking glass
[E] But I'll never get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
[E] No, I'll never get used to [D] not living next door to [A] Alice
