Living next door to Alice
G
Sally called when she got the word
C D G D
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 G D7
'Cos for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice
G C
Twenty four years waiting for the chance to tell her how I feel
D
And maybe get a second glance, 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

Chorus

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

Chorus
G D
.......... ................Alice
