[D] [G]
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go, I'm standing here outside the door,
I [C] hate to wake you up to say [D] goodbye.
[G] But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn, the taxi's waiting, he's blown his horn,
Already I'm so lonesome [D] I could die.
[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] Cos I'm leaving [C] on a jet [G] plane, don't [C] know when I'll be [G] back again.
[C] Oh babe, [D] I hate to go.
[G] There's so many times I've let you down, so many times I've played around,
I tell [A] you now, they [D] don't mean a thing.
[G] Every place I go, I'll think of you, every song I sing, I'll sing for you,
When I come back, I'll bring [D] your wedding ring.
[G] So kiss [C] me and smile for [G] me, tell me that [C] you'll wait for [G] me,
Hold me [C] like you'll never [D] let me go.
[G] Cos I'm leaving [C] on a jet [G]
plane, don't [C] know when I'll be back [G] again.
[C] Oh babe, [D] I hate to go.
[G]
Now the time has come to leave you one more time,
Let me kiss you, then close [C] your eyes and [D] I'll be on my way.
[G]
Dream about the days to come when I won't have to leave alone,
About the times I [D] won't have to say.
[G]
Kiss [C] me and smile for [G] me, tell [C] me that you'll wait for [G] me,
Hold [C] me like you'll never [D] let me go.
[G] Cos I'm leaving [C] on a jet [G] plane, don't [C] know when I'll be [G] back again.
[C] Oh babe, [D] I hate to go.
[G] I'm leaving [C] on a jet [G] plane, don't [C] know when I'll be [G] back again.
[C] Oh babe, [D] I hate to go.
[G] [N]
