A
Sally called and she got the word.
D E A E
She said I suppose you've heard..............About Alice...
A
When I rushed to the window and I looked the outside,
D
I could hardly believe my eyes.
E A E
The big limosine hold up into Alice's driver...
Refrain :__________________________________________________
A
I don't know why she's leaving and whee she's going to go.
D
I guess she's got reasons, but I just don't want to know.
E A E
Just for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice......
A
24 years just waiting for a chance
D
to tell her how I fell and maybe get a second glance.
E E7 A E
Now, I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
____________________________________________________________
A
We walk together, two kids in the park.
D E A E
???? ?? ??? (I Can't get them),deep in the ???......Been Alice.
A
As she walks to the door and keep her hand high..
D
Just fo a moment, I cought her eyes.
E A E
As the big limosine move slowly, out of Alice's driver...
Refrain...(Use Riff#1 instead of last E )...
A
And Sally called back and ask how I felt.
D E A E
And she said I know how to help.........Get over Alice...
A
She said now Alice has gone but I'm still here...
D
You know I've been waiting 24 years....
E (Riff#2)
The big limosine disappeared.........
Refrain....
E E7 A (EndRiff)
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.....
EndRiff :(I'm not sure but something like :)
