[Intro]
D

[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 waiting, 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             
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  
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             
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
    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
