CRD: En Vogue - Don't Let Go (Love)
Rob Blackbourn
This is played in Fm, but the chords shown are for Em (capo on
the first fret to play along).
Please post corrections.
The chorus and verses follow the progression Em G D A. I think the bridge
goes Em C D (any help here?)
The piece is played mostly on piano, but simple open chords seem to work
well
on the guitar.
Em G D A
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
o22ooo 32ooo3 xxo232 xo222o
To make the bridge funky you need barre chords. I use;
Em C D
EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE
xx2453 x35553 x57775
Play slow, with drive, and make the bridge more funky.
CHORUS
~~~~~~
Em G D A
What's it gonna be, Cuz I can't pretend.
Em G D
Don't you wanna be, more than friends.
A Em G D
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
A Em G D A
Have the right to loose control (Don't let go)
VERSE
~~~~~
Em G D A Em
I often tell myself that we could be more than just friends.
G D A Em
I know you think that if we move to soon it would all end.
G D Em
I live in misery when you're not around.
G D A Em
And I won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows
G D A
BRIDGE
~~~~~~
Em C D
There'll be some love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin', Oh.
Em C D
Love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin'.

Full Lyrics
~~~~~~~~~~~
What's it gonna be, Cuz I can't pretend.
Don't you wanna be, more than friends.
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
Have the right to loose control (Don't let go)
I often tell myself that we could be more than just friends.
I know you think that if we move to soon it would all end.
I live in misery when you're not around.
I won't be satisfied 'till we're taking those vows
There'll be some love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin', Oh.
Love makin', heart breakin', soul shakin'.
What's it gonna be, Cuz I can't pretend.
Don't you wanna be, more than friends.
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
Have the right to loose control (Don't let go)
I often fantasize the stars above are watching you.
They know my heart and speak to yours like only lovers do.
If I could wear your clothes I'd pretend I was you.
And loose control.
There'll be some lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking, Oh.
Lovemaking, heartbreaking, soul shaking.
What's it gonna be, Cuz I can't pretend.
Don't you wanna be, more than friends.
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
Have the right to loose control (Don't let go)
Running in and out my life has got me so confused.
You gotta make the sacrifice, somebody's got to choose.
We can make it if we try, for the sake of you and I.
Together we can make it right.
What's it gonna be, Cuz I can't pretend.
Don't you wanna be, more than friends.
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
Have the right to loose control (Don't let go)
