[Verse 1]
{A}Sally called when she got the word.{D}
And she said: “I suppose you’ve heard {E}- About{A} Alice{E}”.
When I {A}rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
{D}and I could hardly believe my {E}eyes.
And{E} the big limousine rolled up, int{A}o Alice’s dr{E}ive.
[Chorus]
Oh, I {A}don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go.
I {D}guess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know.
Cause 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}got to get used to not {D}living next door to {A}Alice{E}.
[Verse 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 she {A}walks to the door with her head held high
{D}just for a moment I caught her eye
{E}As the limousine pulls out, of {A}Alices dri{E}ve
[Chorus]
Oh, I {A}don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go.
I {D}guess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know.
Cause 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}got to get used to not {D}living next door to {A}Alice{E}.
[Verse 3]
Then{A} Sally called back and asked how I felt,{D}
And she said: “I know how to help {E}- get ove{A}r 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 disapeared…
[Chorus]
Oh, I {A}don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go.
I {D}guess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know.
Cause 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}got to get used to not {D}living next door to {A}Alice{E}.
[Outro]
No, I’ll n{E}ever get used to not l{D}iving next door to A{A}lice…
