🎶 Living Next Door To Alice

1. [Bbm] Sally called when she got the word
[Cb] And she said, "I suppose you've heard [D] about [Bbm] Alice" [D]
So I [Bbm] rushed to the window and I looked outside
[Cb] And I could hardly believe my eyes
[D] As a big Limousine rolled up into [Bbm] Alice's drive [D]

Chorus:
Oh, I [Bbm] don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go
I [Cb] guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know
'Cos for [D] twenty-four years I've been living next door to [Bbm] Alice [D]

[Bbm] Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To [Cb] tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I've [D] gotta get used to not [Cb] living next door to [Bbm] Alice [D]

2. [Bbm] We grew up together, two kids in the park
[Cb] We carved our initials, deep in the bark, [D] me and [Bbm] Alice [D]
Now [Bbm] she walks through the door with her head held [D] high
[Cb] Just for a moment, I caught her eye
[D] As the big Limousine pulled slowly out of [Bbm] Alice's drive

3. [Bbm] Sally called back and asked how I [D] felt
And [Cb] she said, "I know how to help, [D] get over [Bbm] Alice" [D]
She said, "Now [Bbm] Alice is gone but I'm still here
[Cb] You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years"
[D] And the big Limousine disappeared ⠀⠀
