Living Next Door To Alice

Intro 4x : A
A
 Sally called when she got the word
D                                      E   A            E
 And she said, "I suppose you've heard... about Alice?"
     A
When I rushed to the window and I looked outside
D
 And I could hardly believe my eyes
E                                   A             E
 As a big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive
Refrain : ---
    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                                      A     E
'Cause 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 feel, 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 grew up together, two kids in the park
D                                          E        A      E
 We carved our initials, deep in the bark... Me and Alice
A
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
D
 Just for a moment, I caught her eye
E                                      A                E
 As a big limousine pulled slowly, out of Alice's drive
Refrain...(Use Riff#1 instead of last E )
A
 And Sally called back and asked how I felt
D                                  E           A       E
 And she said, "I know how to help... Get over Alice"
           A
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here"
D
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
E                               (Riff#2)
 And a big limousine disappeared
Refrain
          E                     E7                 A    (EndRiff)
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
