A 
Sally called and she got the word.   
D                               E             A          E
She said I suppose you've heard..............About Alice... 

A
When I rushed to the window and I looked the outside,
D
I could hardly believe my eyes.
E                             A             E
The big limosine hold up into Alice's driver...


Refrain :__________________________________________________
A
I don't know why she's leaving and whee she's going to go.
D
I guess she's got reasons, but I just don't want to know.
         E                                      A     E     
Just for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice......

A
24 years just waiting for a chance
   D
to tell her how I fell and maybe get a second glance.
          E                      E7                  A     E
Now, I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...
____________________________________________________________


A
We walk together, two kids in the park.
D                                             E        A      E        
???? ?? ??? (I Can't get them),deep in the ???......Been Alice.

A
As she walks to the door and keep her hand high..
D
Just fo a moment, I cought her eyes.
E                                       A              E 
As the big limosine move slowly, out of Alice's driver...

Refrain...(Use Riff#1 instead of last E )...

A
And Sally called back and ask how I felt.
D                              E              A        E
And she said I know how to help.........Get over Alice...

A
She said now Alice has gone but I'm still here...
D
You know I've been waiting 24 years....
    E                       (Riff#2)
The big limosine disappeared.........


Refrain....

          E                     E7                 A (EndRiff)
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.....
