Sally called and she got the word
[D] She said, I suppose you've heard
[E]
[A] About Alice
[E]
[A] Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside
[D] But I could hardly believe my eyes
[E] Some big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive
Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving
No 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]
[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 [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] Now
[A] 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 slowly out [A] of Alice's drive
[Em]
Oh, [A] I don't know why she's leaving
No 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 [A] door to Alice
[E]

[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]
[C#m] [A] Then Sally called back and asked how I felt
[D] And she said I know how to help [E]
get [A] over Alice
She [E]
[C#m] 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
No way 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 door to [A] Alice
[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
No, [E] I'll never get used to [D] not living next door [A] to Alice
