LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE Acoustic by Smokie: Tabbed by Buenofine Calse
Sally called when she got the word.
She said I suppose you've heard, about Alice.
Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
I could hardly believe my eyes.
As a big Limousine rolled up into Alice's drive.
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
Cuz' for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 years just waiting for the 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.
We carved our initials deep in the bark, Me and Alice.
As she walks to the door with her head held high,
Just for a moment I caught her eye,
As the Limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive.
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
Cuz' for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 years just waiting for the 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.
And 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 24 years,
And then the big Limousine disappeared...
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving or where she's gonna go,
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
Cuz' for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice.
24 years just waiting for the chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
