Sally called, and she got the [D] word
_ _ She said, I suppose you've heard
[E] _ _ _ About _ _ _ [A] _ Alice
_ [E] Well _ [A] I rushed to the window and I looked outside
[D] And I could hardly believe my eyes
[E] Something glimmered, seemed to glow
[A] It said, Alice is dry
[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
[E] But for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
_ _ [E] 24 _ _
[A] _ _ years she's 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
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] Grew up together, two kids in the [D] park
_ Carved our initials deep in the bark, [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] me and Alice
[E] Now _ _ _
[A] she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
And just for a moment I caught her eye
[E] As the big limousine pulled slowly [A] out of Alice's drive
[E] I _ _
[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
[E] But for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
_ _ [E] 24 _ _
[A] _ _ years she's 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
_ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] Sally called back, _ asked how I felt
[D] _ _ She said, I know how to help [E] _ get _ _ _ _ [A] over Alice
[E] She _ _ [A] said, now Alice is gone, but I'm still here
[D] You know I've been waiting for 24 years
[E] _ _ Then the big limousine _ disappeared
I _ _ _
[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
[E] But for 24 years I've been living next [A] door to Alice
_ [E] 24 _ _
[A] _ _ years she's 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 door [A] to Alice _ _ _ _
[E] No, I'll never get used to not [D]
