Living Next Door To Alice Chords by Smokie

_ Sally called and she got the [Em] word
[D] _ _ She said, I suppose you've heard [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] about Alice
_ [E] Well _ _ [A] I rushed to the window and I looked [E] outside
[D] And I could hardly believe my [E] eyes
Some big limousine rolled up _ _ [A] into Alice's drive
_ [E] _
_ Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving the way she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
[E] Plus 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 guess
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next [A] door to Alice
Grew [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ up together, two kids in the [D] park
_ Carved our initials deep in the bark, [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] eating ants
_ [E] _
_ _ [E] _ [A] Now she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
A glimpse of the moon, I caught her [E] eye
As the big limousine pulled slowly _ [A] out of Alice's drive
[E] _
Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving the way she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
[E] Plus 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 guess
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next [A] door to _ Alice
[E] _
_ _ _ [A] Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
[D] _ And she said, I know [Bm] how to help [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] you over Alice
_ _ [E] _
_ She [A] said, now Alice is gone but I'm still here
[D] You know I've been waiting 24 [Bm] years
[E] _ And the big limousine disappeared
_ [Ab] I _
[A] don't know why she's leaving the way she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
Plus [E] for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
24 years just waiting for a [D] chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second guess
[E] But I'll never get used [D] to not living next [A] door to Alice
_ _ _ _ _ [E] No, I'll never get used to [D] not living next _ door [A] to Alice
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
