B
Sally called when she got the word
E				    F#       B
And she said "I suppose youʼve heard, ʼbout Alice"
B
Well I rush to the window, and I looked outside
E
But I could hardly believe my eyes
F#			          B
As a big limousine rode up outo Aliceʼs drive

B
Oh, I donʼt know why sheʼs leaving, or where sheʼs gonna go
E
I guess sheʼs got her reasons but I just donʼt wanna know
	F#				  B
ʼCos for 24 years Iʼve been living next door to Alice
B
24 years just waiting for a chance
E
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
	F#		 E	     F#	   B
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

B
We grew up together, two kids in the park
E				    F#       B
Carved out initials deep in the bark, me anʼ Alice
B
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
E
Just for a moment I caught her eye
F#			          B
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Aliceʼs drive

B
Oh, I donʼt know why sheʼs leaving, or where sheʼs gonna go ...
E
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt
	F#				  B
And she said: "I know how to help, to get over Alice"
B
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but Iʼm still here
E
You know, Iʼve been waiting 24 years ..."
	F#      E    F#      B
And the big limousine disappeared

B
I donʼt know why sheʼs leaving, or where sheʼs gonna go
E
I guess sheʼs got her reasons but I just donʼt wanna know
	F#				  B
ʼCos for 24 years Iʼve been living next door to Alice
B
24 years just waiting for a chance
E
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
	F#      E    F#      B
But Iʼll never get used to not living next door to Alice
	F#      E    F#      B
No, Iʼll never get used to not living next door to Alice
