A D
Sally
called when she got the word,
D E A E
D E A E
And she said:
"I suppose you've heard - about
Alice".
A
A
When I
rushed to the window,
And I looked outside,
D E
And I looked outside,
D E
And I
could hardly believe my eyes -
E A E
E A E
As a big
limousine rolled up into Alice's drive...
A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
D
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 want to know,
E
But I just don't want to know,
E
'Cos for twenty-four years
A E
A E
I've been living next door to Alice.
A
A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
D
D
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second
glance,
E D A E
E D A E
Now I've got to get used to not living next door
to Alice...
A D E...
We grew up together, two kids in the park,
We carved our initials, deep in the bark, me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.
A D E...
A D E...
We grew up together, two kids in the park,
We carved our initials, deep in the bark, me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door,
With her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.
A D E...
Oh, 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 want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...
A D E...
And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone,
But I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting
For twenty-four years..."
And a big limousine dissapeared...
A D E...
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 want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four 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...
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
Or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for twenty-four years
I've been living next door to Alice.
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice...

Well I guess you had me fooled for a while,
With your come-on looks, and your Mona Lisa smile.
But your rock'n'roll is getting out of time, to me,
Go sing your lines to someone else, that someone else may be,
The fool you always thought you saw in me.
G Em G Em...
So, don't play your rock'n'roll to me,
That ain't the way it's meant to be,
