Living Next Door To Alice

Sally called and she got the word.

D E A E

She said I suppose you've heard..............About Alice...

When I rushed to the window and I looked the outside,

I could hardly believe my eyes.

E A E

The big limosine hold up into Alice's driver...

Refrain :__________________________________________________

I don't know why she's leaving and whee she's going to go.

I guess she's got reasons, but I just don't want to know.

E A E

Just for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice......

24 years just waiting for a chance

to tell her how I fell and maybe get a second glance.

E E7 A E

Now, I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice...

____________________________________________________________

We walked together, two kids in the park.

D E A E

Carved our initials, deep in the bark ....................Me and Alice

As she walks to the door and keep her hand high..

Just fo a moment, I cought her eyes.

E A E

As the big limosine move slowly, out of Alice's driver...

Refrain...(Use Riff#1 instead of last E )...

And Sally called back and ask how I felt.

D E A E

And she said I know how to help.........Get over Alice...

She said now Alice has gone but I'm still here...

You know I've been waiting 24 years....

The big limosine disappeared.........

Refrain....

E E7 A (EndRiff)

No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.....

Needles And Pins

Intro: A A6 A A6 A9 E E 2x A A6 A9 A

I saw her today

I saw her face

F#m

It was a face I loved

And I knew, I had to run away

And get down on my knees and pray

That they'd go away

A A6 A A6 A9

And still they begin

F#m

Needles and pins

Because of all my pride

The tears I'm gonna hide

Oh, thought I was smart

I'd won a heart

F#m

Didn't think I do

But now you see

She's worse to him and me

Let her go ahead

F#m

take this love instead

And one day she will see

A A6 A A6 A9

Just how to say "please"

F#m

Get down on her knees

Ayeah, that's how they begin

She'll feel those needles and pins

Hurtin' her, hurtin' her

Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
