Living Next Door To Alice

G
Sally called when she got the word 
C                               D         G
She said I suppose you've heard - About Alice
G
Well I rushed to the window, well I looked outside 
C                               D7
I could hardly believe my eyes, As a big limousine 
          G               D
rolled up to Alices drive


G
I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go 
  C
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know 
         D
'Cos for twenty four years
                              G     D7
I've been living next door to Alice


G
Twenty four years waiting for the chance
   C
to tell her how I feel 

And maybe get a second glance,
         D
now I've got to get used to 
    C                   G
not living next door to Alice



We grew up together,two kids in the park 

We carved our initials - deep into the bark -Me and Alice 

Now she walks through the door,her head held high 

Just for a moment I caught her eye - The big limousine 

Pulled out of Alices drive 



Sally called back and asked how I felt 

And she said-Hey, I know how to help - get over Alice 

She said Alice is gone, but I'm still here 

You know I've been waiting for twenty four years 

And the big limousine Disappeared
