1. [A]Sally called when she got the word
[D]And she said, “I suppose you’ve heard [E]about [A]Alice” [E]
So I [A]rushed to the window and I looked outside
[D]And I could hardly believe my eyes
[E]As a big Limousine rolled up into [A]Alice’s drive [E]
Chorus:
Oh, I [A]don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna [E]go
I [D]guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t wanna know
‘Cos for [E]twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to [A]Alice [E]
[A]Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To [D]tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve [E]gotta get used to not [D]living next door to [A]Alice [E]
2. [A]We grew up together, two kids in the park
[D]We carved our initials, deep in the bark, [E]me and [A]Alice [E]
Now [A]she walks through the door with her head held [E]high
[D]Just for a moment, I caught her eye
[E]As the big Limousine pulled slowly out of [A]Alice’s drive
3. [A]Sally called back and asked how I [E]felt
And [D]she said, “I know how to help, [E]get over [A]Alice” [E]
She said, “Now [A]Alice is gone but I’m still here
[D]You know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years”
[E]And the big Limousine dissapeared
