            [Verse 1]

A                                   D
Sally called when she got the word.
                                      E      A     E
And she said: "I suppose you've heard - about Alice".
       A
When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
D                             E
and I could hardly believe my eyes.
   E                                A           E
And the big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive.


[Chorus]

      A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
  D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
          E                                               A    E
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
   D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
         E                      D                   A    E
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.


[Verse 2]

A                                          D
We grew up together, two kids in the park.
                                          E       A    E
We carved our initials, deep in the bark. Me and Alice
        A
Now she walks to the door with her head held high
D
Just for a moment I caught her eye
E                              A           E
As the limousine pulls out, of Alice's drive


[Chorus]

      A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
  D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
          E                                               A    E
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
   D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
         E                      D                   A    E
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.


[Verse 3]

    A                                        D
Then Sally called back and asked how I felt,
                                  E        A        E
And she said: "I know how to help - get over Alice".
              A
She said: "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
D                                                     E
you know I've been waiting for twenty-four years..."
N.C.
And the big limousine disappeared...


[Chorus]

      A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go.
  D
I guess she's got her reasons, but I just don't wanna know.
          E                                               A    E
Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
   D
to tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
         E                      D                   A    E
now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice.


[Outro]
         E                     D                   A
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
