Sally called and she got the word
[D] She said, I suppose you've heard [E]
about Alice
[E]
[A] Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside
[D] And I could hardly believe my [E] eyes
As a big limousine rolled up 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
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 guess
[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 [D] park
Carved our initials deep in the bark, [E]
[A] me and Alice
[E]
[A] Now she walks through the door with her head held high
[D] Just for a moment I caught her [E] eye
As a big limousine hit the slope [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] Cause for 24 years I've been living next door [A] to Alice
[E]

[E] Now I gotta get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
[E]
[C#m] [A] Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
[D] And she said, I know how to help [E]
you [A] over Alice
[E]
She said, [A] now Alice is gone but I'm still here
[D] You know I've been waiting for 24 years
[E] And the big limousine disappeared
[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] Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to [A] Alice
[A]
24 years just waiting for a chance
To [D] tell her how I feel and maybe get a second guess
[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 living next door [A] to Alice
