[G]
I'm a bag up, [C] packing, ready to go
[G] I'm staring here [C] outside the [G] door
I hate to wake [C] you up to [D] say goodbye
[G] But the dawn is [C] breaking, the girl is [G] moaning
Taxi's [Em] waking, it's [F] blowing its [G] horn
Already [C] I'm so lonesome [D] I could die
[A] [G] So kiss [C] me and smile for [G] me
Tell me [C] that you'll wait for [G] me
Hold me [C] like you'll never [D] let me go
[G] Cause I'm leaving [C] on a death [G] plank
Don't [C] know when I'll be back [G] again
Oh [C] babe, I [D] hate to go
So [G] many [C] times I've let you down
[G] There's so many times [C] I've fucked around
[G] I tell you now, [C] they don't mean [D] a thing
Cause [G] every place I go [C] I'll think of you
[G] Every song I sing [C] I'll sing for you
[G] When I come back [C] I'll break your wedding [D]

Now [G]
the [C] time has come to leave [G] you
One more [C] time, let me kiss [G] you
Close your [C] eyes and I'll be on [D] my way
[G]
Dream about [C] the days to come
[G] When I won't have [C] to leave alone
[G] About the times [C] that I won't have [D] to [F#] say
[G] Oh kiss [C] me and smile for [G] me
Tell me [C] that you'll wait for [G] me
Hold me [C] like you'll never [D] let me go
