Living Next Door To Alice Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Sally called when she got the word,
[C]And she said: 'I suppose
you've [D]heard -
[G]About [D]Alice'.
When I rushed [G]to the window,
And I looked [C]outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes -
As [D]a big limousine rolled up
Into [G]Alice's [D]drive...

[Verse 2]
Oh, I [G]don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
[C]I guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for [D]twenty- four years
I've been living next door to [G]Alice.[D]
[G]Twenty- four years just
waiting for a chance,
[C]To tell her how I feel,
and maybe get a second glance,
Now I've [D]got to get used to not
[C]living next door to [G]Alice...[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]We grew up together,
Two kids in the park,
[C]We carved our initials,
Deep in [D]the bark,
Me [G]and [D]Alice.
Now she [G]walks through the door,
With her head held [C]high,
Just for a moment, I caught her [D]eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
[G]Out of Alice's [D]drive.

[Verse 4]
Oh, I [G]don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I [C]guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for [D]twenty- four years
I've been living next door to [G]Alice.[D]
[G]Twenty- four years just
waiting for a chance,
To [C]tell her how I feel,
and maybe get a second glance,
Now I [D]gotta get used to not [C]living
next door to [G]Alice...[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
[C]And she said: 'I know how to [D]help -
Get [G]over [D]Alice'.
She said: 'Now [G]Alice is gone,
But I'm still [C]here,
You know I've been waiting
For [D]twenty- four years...'
And a big [C]limousine[G]

[Verse 6]
dissapeared...
[G]I don't know why she's leaving,
Or where she's gonna go,
I [C]guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for [D]twenty- four years
I've been living next door to [G]Alice.[D]
[G]Twenty- four years just
waiting for a chance,
[C]To tell her how I feel,
and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll [D]never get used to not
[C]living next [D]door to [G]Alice...

[Verse 7]
[G]Or where she's gonna go,
I [C]guess she's got her reasons,
But I just don't want to know,
'Cos for [D]twenty- four years
I've been living next door to [G]Alice.[D]
[G]Twenty- four years just
waiting for a chance,
[C]To tell her how I feel,
and maybe get a second glance,
But I'll [D]never get used to not
[C]living next [D]door to [G]Alice...

[Verse 8]
Now I'll [D]never get used to not
[C]living next door to [G]Alice...
