_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Sally called and she got the word.
[D] _ _ She said I suppose you heard [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] about Alice.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] Well I rushed
to the window and I looked outside _ [D] and I could hardly believe my [E] eyes.
The limousine rolled
up _ _ [A] into Alice's drive.
[E] _ _
_ [A] Oh 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.
Plus [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've gotta get used to [D] not living next [A] door to Alice.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] We 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 [D] high.
Just for a moment I caught her eye.
[E] As the big limousine pulled slow _ [A] out of Alice's drive.
[E] _
_ [C#m] _ [A] Oh 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] 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've gotta get used to [D] not living
next [A] door 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] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] your older 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] and _ _ the big limousine disappeared.
_ [D] _ _ [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] 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] But I'll never get used
to [D] not living next [A] door to Alice.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] No I'll never get used to [D] not living next _ door [A] to Alice. _ _
