[E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] About Alice
_ [E]
Well, _ _ [A] I rushed to the window and looked outside
[Em] _ [D] And I can hardly believe my [Bm] eyes
[E] It's a big, messy, blue
_ _ [A] It's Alice's drive
[E] _ _ Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving
I don't know where she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't wanna know
[E] It's been 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice _ _
[E] 24 _ _ [A] _ _ years just 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
Caught her on the shoes, deep in the mud
[E] _ Me _ _ _ _ [A] and Alice _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] As she walks through the door with her head held high
[D] Just for a moment, I caught her eye
[E] Shh, shh, _ shh
Ah, [A] the Alice's drive [E] Come on!
_ [A] I don't know why she's leaving
I don't know where she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't wanna know
[E] It's been 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 try to get into her fence
[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice _ _
[E] _ She _ [A] had a call back, _ asked how I felt
[D] _ She said, I know, out of hell
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ Good [A] Lord, what will I say?
[E] _ _ She [A] said, Alice is gone, but I'm still here
[D] You know I've been waiting for 24 years
[E] _ _ And _ the big machine _ disappeared _
_ I [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [A] don't know why she's leaving
I don't know where she's gonna go
[D] I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't wanna know
It's [E] been 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
_ _ [E] 24 _ [A] _ _ _ years just waiting for a [D] chance
To tell her how I feel and try to get into her [E] fence
But I'll never get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice _ _ _
No, [E] I'll never get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
