G
Sally called when she got the word.
C                                D        G       D7
 She said:"I suppose you´ve heard   about Alice".
        G
Well, I rushed to the window, well I looked outside,
C                                     
 I could hardly believe my eyes, 
     D                                G             D7           
as a big limousine pulled slowly into Alice´s drive.


[Refrain]
  G
I don´t know why she´s leaving or where she´s gonna go
      C
but I guess she´s got her reasons but I just don´t want to know.
         D7                                              G     D7
´Cos for twenty-four years I´ve been living next door to Alice.
G
Twenty-four years just waiting for the chance
   C
to tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
         D                      C           D       G     D7
now I´ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.

[Verse 2]
   G                                  
We grew up together, two kids in the park.
C                                       D         G     D7
 We carved our initials deep in the bark,  me and Alice.
        G
Now she walks through the door with her head held high,
C
 just for a second I caught her eyes.
  D                                  G             D7
A big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice´s drive.

         D                      C           D       G     D7
Now I´ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.
(slow down)
         D                      C           D       G
Now I´ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice.
