[A] Sally called, when she got the word,
[D] She said "I suppose youve heard,
About [E] Alice."
So, I [A] rushed to the window,
and I looked outside,
[D] And I could hardly believe my eyes,
This [A] big limousine pulled slowly into
[D] Alices drive.
I [A] dont why why shes leaving,
or where shes gonna go,
I [D] guess shes got her reasons but I just
dont wanna know,
Cause for [E] 24 years Ive been
[D] living next door to [A] Alice. [A]
[A] 24 years, just waitin for a chance,
To [D] tell her how Im feeling,
maybe get a second glance,
Now Ive [E] gotta get used to not
[D] living next door to [A] Alice. [A]
We [A] walked together, two kids in the park,
[D] Carved our initials deep in the bark -
Me and [E] Alice.
Now she [A] walks to the door,
with her head held high,
[D] Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As the [A] big limousine pulled slowly out of
[D] Alices drive.
I [A] dont why why shes leaving, or
where shes gonna go,
I [D] guess shes got her reasons but
I just dont wanna know,
Cause for [E] 24 years Ive been
[D] living next door to [A] Alice. [A]
[A] 24 years, just waitin for a chance,
To [D] tell her how Im feeling,
maybe get a second glance,
Now Ive [E] gotta get used to not
[D] living next door to [A] Alice. [A]
[A] Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
[D] She said "I know other help,
you get over [E] Alice."
She said "Now [A] Alice is gone,
but Im still here
- You know [D] Ive been waiting 24 years."
And the [A] big limousine dis [E] appeared.
I [A] dont why why shes leaving,
or where shes gonna go,
I [D] guess shes got her reasons but I
just dont wanna know,
Cause for [E] 24 years Ive been
[D] living next door to [A] Alice. [A]
[A] 24 years, just waitin for a chance,
To [D] tell her how Im feeling,
maybe get a second glance,
Now Ive [E] gotta get used to not
[D] living next door to [A] Alice. [A]
No, Ill [E] never get used to not
[D] living next door to [A] Alice...
