[Verse 1]
G C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
G C
I'm standing here outside your door,
G C D
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
G C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
G C
The taxi's waitin', he's blowing his horn,
G C D
Already 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
'Cause 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 played around,
G C D
I tell you 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
'Cause 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
About 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
'Cause 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.
[Outro]
G C
I'm leaving on a jet plane,
G C
Don't know when I'll be back again,
G C D G
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
