Intro: 4x :

A
Sally called when she got the word
D E A E
And she said, "I suppose you've heard... about Alice?"
A
When I rushed to the window and I looked outside
D
And I could hardly believe my eyes
E A E
As a big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive
Refrain : ---
A
Oh, 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 want to know
E A E
'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
A
24 years just waiting for a chance
D
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
E E7 A E
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
---
A
We grew up together, two kids in the park
D E A E
We carved our initials, deep in the bark... Me and Alice
A
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
D
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
E A E
As a big limousine pulled slowly, out of Alice's drive
Refrain...(Use Riff#1 instead of last
E )
A
And Sally called back and asked how I felt
D E A E
And she said, "I know how to help... Get over Alice"
A
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here"
D
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
E (Riff#2)
And a big limousine disappeared
Refrain
E E7 A (EndRiff)
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
