Sally called when she got the word
F G C
And she said “I suppose you´ve heard, ´bout Alice”
C
Well I rush to the window, and I looked outside
F
But I could hardly believe my eyes
G C
As a big limousine rode up outo Alice´s drive
C
Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go
F
I guess she´s got her reasons but I just don´t wanna know
G C
´Cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice
C
24 years just waiting for a chance
F
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
G F G C
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
C
We grew up together, two kids in the park
F G C
Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an´ Alice
C
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
F
Just for a moment I caught her eye
G C
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice´s drive
C
Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go …
F
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt
G C
And she said: “I know how to help, to get over Alice”
C
She said, “Now Alice is gone, but I´m still here
F
You know, I´ve been waiting 24 years …”
G F G C
And the big limousine disappeared
C
I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go
F
I guess she´s got her reasons but I just don´t wanna know
G C
´Cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice
C
24 years just waiting for a chance
F
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
G F G C
But I´ll never get used to not living next door to Alice
G F G C
No, I´ll never get used to not living next door to Alice
