Sally called and she got the word
[D]
She said, I suppose you've heard
[E]
About [A] Alice
[E] Well, [A] I rushed to the window and I looked outside
[D]
And I could hardly believe my [E] eyes
There's a big limousine in the road up
[A] And Sir Alice is driving
[E] Oh, [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
[E] Cause 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'm feeling, maybe get a second guess
[E] Now I gotta get used [D] to not living next [A] door to Alice
We [E]
[A] grew up together, two kids in the [D] park
Carved our initials deep in the bark
[E]
[A] Meaning Alice
[E] Now [A]
she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
Just for a moment I caught her eye
[E] There's a big limousine in the road up
[A] And Sir Alice is driving
[E] Oh, [Dbm]
[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
[E] Cause 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'm feeling, 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 how [Bm] to [Eb] help
[E] Get [A] 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
[Abm] [A] I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I [D] guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
[E] Cause for 24 years I've been living next [A] door to Alice
[E] 24 [A] years just waiting for a chance
[D] To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second guess
[E] 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
[D] No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
