Selection chords: Henry Walker

C#
Sally called when she got the word
F#				    G#       C#
And she said "I suppose youʼve heard, ʼbout 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 Aliceʼs drive

C#
Oh, I donʼt know why sheʼs leaving, or where sheʼs gonna go
F#
I guess sheʼs got her reasons but I just donʼt wanna know
	G#				  C#
ʼCos for 24 years Iʼve 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 anʼ 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 Aliceʼs drive

C#
Oh, I donʼt know why sheʼs leaving, or where sheʼs 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 Iʼm still here
F#
You know, Iʼve been waiting 24 years ..."
	G#      F#    G#      C#
And the big limousine disappeared

C#
I donʼt know why sheʼs leaving, or where sheʼs gonna go
F#
I guess sheʼs got her reasons but I just donʼt wanna know
	G#				  C#
ʼCos for 24 years Iʼve 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 Iʼll never get used to not living next door to Alice
	G#      F#    G#      C#
No, Iʼll never get used to not living next door to Alice
