Living next door to alice

1. ^DSally called when she got the word
^Gand she said "I suppose you've hear^A-A7d,     bout ^DAlice^A"
Well I ^Drushed to the window, and I looked outside,
^Gbut I could hardly believe my eyes
as a ^Abig limousine rolled up onto ^DAlice's drive.

Ref. D
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
I g^Guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
'^ACos for 24 years I've been living next^D door ^A7to Alice.

+ But I'll n^Aever get used to not l^Giving next d^Aoor to A^Dlice,
no, I'll n^Aever get used to not li^Gving next d^Aoor to Al^Dice.
^D24 years just waitin' for a chance
To t^Gell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
^Anow I gotta get used ^Gto not living next do^D-A7or to Alice.

2. We ^Dgrew up together, two kids in the park
^Gcarved out initials deep in the bar^A-A7k,      me and ^D-D7Alice.
Now she w^Dalks through the door, with her head held high,
^Gjust for a moment I cought her eye,
^Aas the big limousine pulled slowly ^Dout of Alice'^-A7s drive.

3. Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
and she said "I know how to help     to get over Alice".
She said "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
you know, I've been waiting 24 years" And the big limousine disappeared.
