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
