When I rushed to the window, and I looked outside

And the big limosine pulled up, in alices drive.

We inscribed our initials deep in the bark me and alice
        A5
As she walks to the door with her head held high
D5                                 E5
just for a moment I caught her eye

As the limosine pulls out, of alices drive
