G
Sally called when she got the word
C D G D
She said I suppose you've heard - About Alice
G
Well I rushed to the window well I looked outside
C D7
I could hardly believe my eyes as a big limousine
G D
rolled up to Alice s drive
G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
D G D7
Cos for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
G C
Twenty four years waiting for the chance to tell her how I feel
D
And maybe get a second glance now I've got to get used to
C G
not living next door to Alice
G
We grew up together two kids in the park
C D G D
We carved our initials - deep into the bark - Me and Alice
G
Now she walks through the door her head held high
C D7
Just for a moment I caught her eye - The big limousine
G D
Pulled out of Alice s drive
G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
D G D7
Cos for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
G C
Twenty four years waiting for the chance to tell her how I feel
D
And maybe get a second glance now I've got to get used to
C G
not living next door to Alice
G
Sally called back and asked how I felt
C D G D
And she said-Hey I know how to help - get over Alice
G
She said Alice is gone but I'm still here
C D7
You know I've been waiting for twenty four years
G D
And the big limousine Disappeared
G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know
D G D7
Cos for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
G C
Twenty four years waiting for the chance to tell her how I feel
D
And maybe get a second glance now I've got to get used to
C G
not living next door to Alice
