G                    C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
    G                  C
I'm standing here out-side your door
  G                C              D
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
        G                     C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
    G                    C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
   G                C            D
Al-ready I'm so lonesome I could die.

[Chorus]
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G                   C             D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G     C             D
  Oh babe I hate to go

[Verse 2]
           G               C
There's so many times I've let you down
   G               C
So many times I've played around
  G            C                 D
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
      G               C
every place i go i'll think of you
      G                C
every song i sing i'll sing for you
     G                C                  D
when i come back i'll bring your wedding ring.

[Chorus]
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G                   C             D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G     C             D
  Oh babe I hate to go

[Verse 3]
G                C
Now the time has come to leave you
G             C
One more time let me kiss you
     G               C             D
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
G               C
Dream about the days to come
     G               C
When I won't have to leave alone
  G              C               D
A-bout the times I won't have to say.

[Chorus]
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me
G                   C            D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
    G       C
I'm leaving on a jet plane
G                  C
   Don't know when I'll be back again
G         C         D
  Oh babe I hate to go
