Sally called, and she got the word
[D] She said, I suppose you heard
[E] About
[A] Alice
[E]
[A] So I rushed to the window and I looked outside
[D] And I could hardly believe my eyes
[E] As 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 a reason but I just don't wanna know
[E] Cos 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 glance
[E] Now I gotta get used to not [D] living next door [A] to Alice
We [E]
[A] grew up together, two kids in the park
[D] Carved our initials deep in the bark, [E]
[A] me and Alice
And [E]
[A] she walks to the door with her head held high
[D] Just for a moment, I caught her eye
[E] As the big limousine pulled slowly [A] out of Alice's drive
[Em] [C#m]
Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got a reason but I just don't wanna know

[Em] [C#m]
[A] 24 years just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance
[E] Now I gotta get used to not living next door [A] to Alice
She [Em] [C#]
[A] called back, that's how I felt
[D] She said, I know how to help [E]
get [A] over Alice
[Em] She [C#m]
[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
I [F#]
[A] don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got a reason but I just don't wanna know
[E] Cos 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'm feeling, maybe get a second glance
[E] Now I'll never get used to not living next door [A] to Alice
[E] Now I'll never get used to not living next door to [A]
Alice
[D] [E]
