1. A Sally called when she got the word
D And she said, "I suppose you’ve heard E about A Alice" E
So I A rushed to the window and I looked outside
D And I could hardly believe my eyes
E As a big Limousine rolled up into A Alice’s drive E
Chorus:
Oh, I A don’t know why she’s leaving or where she’s gonna E go
I D guess she’s got her reasons but I just don’t wanna know
‘Cos for E twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to A Alice E
A Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To D tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
Now I’ve E gotta get used to not D living next door to A Alice E
2. A We grew up together, two kids in the park
D We carved our initials, deep in the bark, E me and A Alice E
Now A she walks through the door with her head held E high
D Just for a moment, I caught her eye
E As the big Limousine pulled slowly out of A Alice’s drive
3. A Sally called back and asked how I E felt
And D 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 years"
E And the big Limousine dissapeared
