C Am C Dm x2 C I'm Creedence Clearwater Wright Am best friend of Elodie Eye C we've been tight since Percy Elementary Dm G class of 1985 C we moved together out to Philly after college Am took a two bedroom at South & 9th C I sold my violin so we could have it easy Dm G El got her grandmother's money when she died C we laughed like we were queens C & split our ballgowns at the seams Am & every single time I'd dream Am it was only El & me C but then she slipped away from me C she met a boy from New Jersey Dm & they fell fast in love of course G I swear it felt like a divorce C this September I'll be 26 years old Am & El's the only one besides my dad C who's ever said I love you Creedence Am C Am C Am C took got a job downtown C it's an hour on the bus each way Am typing letters for a lawyer in a bad toupee C Dm G it's dumb I know but it pays okay C & did I mention I moved out C I got my own place off of South Am & I've been living hand to mouth Am for going on a year by now C & yes I still see El around C it's different but I can't say how Dm she cut her hair it's back to brown G she's living with her boyfriend now C & since September I've been 26 years old Am she's still the only one besides my dad C who's ever said I love you Creedence Am Finish on C
