C Sally called when she got the word F G C And she said "I suppose you´ve heard, ´bout Alice" C Well I rush to the window, and I looked outside F But I could hardly believe my eyes G C As a big limousine rode up outo Alice´s drive C Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go F I guess she´s got her reasons but I just don´t wanna know G C ´Cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice C 24 years just waiting for a chance F To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance G F G C Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together, two kids in the park Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an´ Alice Now she walks through the door, with her head held high Just for a moment I caught her eye As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice´s drive Oh, I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go ... Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt And she said: "I know how to help, to get over Alice" She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I´m still here You know, I´ve been waiting 24 years ..." And the big limousine disappeared I don´t know why she´s leaving, or where she´s gonna go I guess she´s got her reasons but I just don´t wanna know ´Cos for 24 years I´ve been living next door to Alice 24 years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance But I´ll never get used to not living next door to Alice No, I´ll never get used to not living next door to Alice
