[C]I'm Creedence Clearwater Wright

[C]I sold my violin so we could have it easy
[Dm]El got her grandmother's[G] 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]who's ever said I love you Creedence

[C]it's an hour on the bus each way
[Am]typing letters for a lawyer in a bad toupee

[Am]& I've been living hand to mouth
[Am]for going on a year by now

[C]who's ever said I love you Creedence
