Gx2                                        Cx2                                          Dx2        G        D
Sally called, when she got the word, ___She said, "I suppose you've heard ___about Alice." ____
          Gx2                                                  Cx2                                              Dx2
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside, ____and I could hardly believe my eyes, ____
                                                               G                D
This big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive. _____

I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't
                                            Dx2                                          G      D    Gx2
Wanna know,  'cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice. ____24 years, just waitin' for a
               Cx2                                                                            D                        C
Chance, to tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance, now I've gotta get used to not living
                       G      D
Next door to Alice. ____


Gx2                                            Cx2                                              Dx2           G     D
Grew up together, two kids in the park, ____carved our initials deep in the bark____me and Alice ___
       Gx2                                                     Cx2                                               Dx2
Now she walks to the door, with her head held high, ____just for a moment, I caught her eye, ___
                                                     G                D
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive. ____

Gx2                                                                  Cx2
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go, I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't
                                            Dx2                                          G      D    Gx2

Next door to Alice. ____

Sally called back, and asked how I felt; ____she said "I know how to help ____you get over Alice." ___
              Gx2                                        Cx2                                                  D stop
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here ____you know I've been waiting 24 years." ________
                                                               D
And the big limousine disappeared. ______
