Sally called when she got the word,                                                      A
And she said: "I suppose you've heard -                                               D
About Alice".                                                                                          E   A   E
Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside,                                A
But I could hardly believe my eyes -                                                     D
As a big limousine rolled up                                                                  E
Into Alice's drive...                                                                                 A   E

     Oh, I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go,      A
     I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't want to know,         D
     'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice.       E   A
     Alice, who the fuck is alice                                                                 E

     Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance,                                    A
     To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance,                  D
     Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...              E   D   A   E

Grew up together two kids in the park,
Carved our initials deep in the bark,
Me and Alice.
Now she walks through the door with her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As a big limousine pulled slowly
Out of Alice's drive.

     Oh, I don't know why she's leaving...

Then Sally called back and asked how I felt,
And she said: "I know how to help -
Get over Alice".
She said: "Now Alice is gone but I'm still here,
You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years..."
And the big limousine disappeared...
 

     I don't know why she's leaving...

              Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...       E   D   A
