Where does Io get its heat from?

I know that Io is volcanic because its elliptical orbit makes it stretch and contract causing friction. But if I look at energy transfer its kinetic to heat energy, but the kinetic energy comes from the elliptical orbit which only exists because of the gravitational pull of Europa and Callipso, yet gravity is one of the four forces of nature and not an energy. How?
