  Sally called when she got the word,
D
  She said: "I suppose you've heard

Oooo Oo Ooo

About Alice".

      A
So I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
D
  I could hardly believe my eyes,
E
  As a big limousine rolled up
     A             E
Into Alice's drive.

Chorus: 0:38
       A
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving,
       A
Or where she's gunna go,
    D
I guess she's got her reasons,
    D
But I just don't wanna know,
           E
'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door
   A     E
To Alice.
0:55
  A
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
    D
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,
          E                     
Now I've got to get used to not

Living next door
   A      E
To Alice.

Verse 2: 1:11
A
  We walked together, two kids in the park,
D
  We carved our initials deep in the bark,
E
Oooo Oo Ooo
       A      E
Me and Alice.
1:26
         A
And she walks through the door with her head held high,
D
  Just for a moment I caught her eye,
E
  As a big limousine pulled slowly
       A              E
Out of Alice's drive.

[Chorus] 1:42 1:58

A
  Sally called back and asked how I felt,
D
  She said: "I know how to help -
E
...
         A       E
Get over Alice".
2:28
               A
She said: "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
D
  You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years".
E!
  And a big limousine disappeared...

Living next door
