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