Living next Door to Alice

	  		 
 
 
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 pulled slowly into Alice's driver... 

A 
I don't know why she's leaving and where 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         
Carved our initials deep in the bark........... me and Alice. 
 
A 
As she walks to the door and keep her hand high.. 
D 
Just fo a moment, I caught her eyes. 
E                                       A              E  
As the big limosine pulled 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.....
