[A]Sally called and 
she got the word,[D]
she said I suppose you've heard, 
[E]  about [A]Alice.[E]
When I [A]rushed to the window, 
and I looked outside,
[D]I could hardly believe my eyes.[E]
And the big limousine pulled up, 
in [A]Alice's drive.[E]

Oh, I [A]don't know why she's leaving,

or where she's goanna go
I [D]guess she's got her reasons,

but I just don't want to know;
cause for [E]twenty four years 
I've been living next door to [A]Alice[E]
[A]Twenty four years just 
waiting for the chance,
to [D]tell her how I feel, 
and maybe get a second glance
Now I [E]got to get used to not 
[D]living next [E7]door to [A]Alice[E]

[A]We walked together, 
two kids in the park,[D]
we inscribed our initials deep in the bark, 
[E]  me and [A]Alice[E]
As she [A]walks to the door 
with her head held high,
[D]just for a moment I caught her eye;[E]
as the limousine pulls out, of [A]Alice's drive[E]

Oh, I [A]don't know why she's leaving,

or where she's goanna go
I [D]guess she's got her reasons,

but I just don't want to know;
cause for [E]twenty four years 
I've been living next door to [A]Alice[E]
[A]Twenty four years just 
waiting for the chance,
to [D]tell her how I feel, 
and maybe get a second glance
Now I [E]got to get used to 
not [D]living next [E7]door to [A]Alice[E]

And [A]Sally called back 
and asked how I felt,[D]
and she said I know how to help,[E] 
 get over [A]Alice[E]
She said, now [A]Alice is gone, 
but I'm still here,
[D]you know I've been waiting 
for twenty four [E]years;

and the big limousine disappeared.

Oh, I [A]don't know why she s leaving,

or where she's goanna go
I [D]guess she's got her reasons,

but I just don't want to know;
cause for [E]twenty four years 
I've been living next door to [A]Alice[E]

[A]Twenty four years just 
waiting for the chance,
to [D]tell her how I feel, 
and maybe get a second glance
But I'll [E]never get used to 
not [D]living next [E7]door to [A]Alice[E]

No, I'll [E]never get used to 
not [D]living next [E7]door to [A]Alice
