Living Next Door To Alice - Smokie

Intro:
[G] [G] [G] [G]

Verse 1:
[G] Sally called when she got the word.
[C] She said, “I suppose you’ve heard [D].......about [G] Alice.” [D7] 
Well I [G] rushed to the window and I looked outside,
[C] could hardly believe my eyes,
As a [D] big Limousine rolled up into [G] Alice’s drive. [D7]

|Chorus:
|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 wanna know.
|’Cos for [D7] twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to [G] Alice. [D7] 
|[G] Twenty-four years just waiting for the chance
|To [C] tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
|Now I’ve [D] got to get used to not [C] living next [D] door to [G] Alice. [D7]

Verse 2:
We [G] grew up together, two kids in the park.
We [C] carved our initials deep in the bark [D]....... me and [G] Alice. [D7] 
Now she [G] walks through the door with her head held high,
[C] Just for a moment, I caught her eye.
A [D] big Limousine pulled slowly out of [G] Alice’s drive [D7]

Chorus:

Verse 3:
[G] And Sally called back and asked how I felt,
[C] And she said "I know how to help - [D].........Get over [G] Alice". [D7]
She said "Now [G] Alice is gone, but I'm still here,
[C] You know I've been waiting for twenty-four years "
[D*] And a big limousine disappeared

Outro:
No I’ll [D*] never get used to not [C*] living next [D*] door to [G////////////] Alice.
