Sally called when she got the word [D] _ _ She said I suppose you heard [Bm] _ [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] I said let me see you moved on [A] into Alice's drive
[E] _ _ _
[A] Oh 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] Cause 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 glance
[E] Now I gotta get used to not [D] living next door to [A] Alice
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[A] Grew up together, two kids in the [D] park _ Carved our initials deep in the bark, [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] me and Alice
_ _ [C#m] _ _
[A] Now she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
And just for a moment I caught her eye
[E] There's a big limousine and folks are slowly _ [A] out of Alice's drive
I [C#m] _ _
[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] Cause 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 second glance
[E] Now I gotta get used to not [D] living next door [A] to Alice
I [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[A] _ called back, asked how I felt [D] She said I know how to help [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ get [A] over Alice
_ [E] _ _ [C#m] 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
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
[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
Cause [E] 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 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] living next door to [A] Alice _
