Verse:
C Sally called when she got the word F
And she said: “I suppose you’ve heard G – about C Alice” G
Well I C rushed to the window, and I looked outside
F And I could hardly believe my eyes
G As the big limousine rolled up, into C Alice’s drive G
Chorus:
Oh, I C don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go
I F guess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know
‘Cause for G twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to C Alice G
C Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To F tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve G got to get used to not F living next door to C Alice G
Verse:
We C grew up together, two kids in the park F
We carved our initials, deep in the bark, G me and C Alice
G Now she C walks to the door with her head held high
F Just for a moment I caught her eye
G As the big limousine pulls slowly, out of C Alice’s drive G
Chorus:
Oh, I C don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go
I F guess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know
‘Cause for G twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to C Alice G
C Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To F tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve G got to get used to not F living next door to C Alice G
Verse:
Then C Sally called back and asked how I felt
F And she said: “I know how to help G … get over C Alice”
G She said: “Now C Alice is gone, but I’m still here
F You know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years…” G
[N.C.] And the big limousine disappeared …
Chorus:
Oh, I C don’t know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go
I F guess she’s got her reasons, but I just don’t wanna know
‘Cause for G twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to C Alice G
C Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To F tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve G got to get used to not F living next door to C Alice
No, I’ll G / never get used to not F / living next door to C / Alice
