Living Next Door To Alice

1. [A] Sally called when she got the word

 [D] And she said, "I suppose you've heard [E] about [A] Alice" [E]

 So I [A] rushed to the window and I looked outside

 [D] And I could hardly believe my eyes

 [E] As a big Limousine rolled up into [A] Alice's drive [E]

 

 Chorus:

 Oh, I [A] don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna [E] go

 I [D] guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

 'Cos for [E] twenty-four years I've been living next door to [A] Alice [E]

 

 [A] Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance

 To [D] tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

 Now I've [E] gotta get used to not [D] living next door to [A] Alice [E] 

 

 2. [A] We grew up together, two kids in the park

 [D] We carved our initials, deep in the bark, [E] me and [A] Alice [E]

 Now [A] she walks through the door with her head held [E] high

 [D] Just for a moment, I caught her eye

 [E] As the big Limousine pulled slowly out of [A] Alice's drive

 

 3. [A] Sally called back and asked how I [E] felt

 And [D] she said, "I know how to help, [E] get over [A] Alice" [E]

 She said, "Now [A] Alice is gone but I'm still here

 [D] You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years"

 [E] And the big Limousine dissapeared
