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

C
& did I mention I moved out
C
I got my own place off of South

C
& yes I still see El around
C
it's different but I can't say how

she's still the only one besides my dad

who's ever said I love you Creedence
