[ Living Next Door To Alice von Smokie ]


G
Sally called when she got the word
C                                                         D            G         D
And she said "I suppose you've heard,       'bout Alice"

Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
But I could hardly believe my eyes as a big limousine rode upon to Alice's drive

   G
   Oh, I 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 wanna know
		 D                                                      G           D
   'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
   
   24 years just waitin' for a chance
   To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
   Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice 

We grew up together, two kids in the park
Carved out initials deep in the bark, mean 'Alice
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye 
 as the big limousine pull slowly out of Alice's drive

   Oh, I don't know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go ...

Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt 
And she said, "I know how to help, to get over Alice"
She sad, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm till here
You know, I've been waiting 24 years..." and the big limousine disappeared

   Oh, I don't know why she’s leaving, or where she’s gonna go ...
