Vers
[G] Sally called when she got the word
[C] She said I suppose you've heard [D]- About [G] Alice [D]
Well I [G] rushed  to the window, well I looked outside
[C] I could hardly believe my eyes, [D7] As a big limousine
rolled up [G] to Alices drive [D] 

Ref
[G] I 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 want to know
'Cause for [D] twenty four years I've been living next door to [G] Alice [D7]
[G] Twenty four years 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 door to [G] Alice

Vers
We grew up together,two kids in the park
We carved our initials - deep into the bark -Me and Alice
Now she walks through the door,her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye - The big limousine
Pulled out of Alices drive

Ref

Vers
Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said-Hey, I know how to help - get over Alice
She said Alice is gone, but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting for twenty four years
And the big limousine Disappeared

Ref * 2

Now I've [D] got to get use to not [C] living nextdoor
to [G] Alice

This isn't taken from the song but is something I play 
when we play it live. Sounds good as an ending.
