[Intro]
E  A  2x


[Verse]
       E                    A
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go
     E                A
I’m standing here, outside the door
E                  A              B
I hate to wake you up and say goodbye
        E                     A
But the dawn is breaking, its early morn
    E                    A
The taxi’s waiting, it’s blowing its horn
E              A                B
Already I’m so lonesome I could die


[Chorus]
  E             A
So kiss me and smile for me
E                   A
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
E                A            B
Hold me like you never let me go
          E       A
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
E               A                   E
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
   A              B
Oh babe I hate to go


[Verse]
      E                  A
There so many times I’ve let you down
E                  A
So many times I’ve played around
E               A                 B
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing.
      E            A
Every place I go I think of you
      E             A
Every song I sing I sing for you
     E              A                    B
When I’ll come back I’ll buy you wedding ring


[Chorus]
   E            A
So kiss me and smile for me
E                   A
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
E                A            B
Hold me like you never let me go
          E       A
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
E               A                   E
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
   A              B  B
Oh babe I hate to go


[Verse]
     E                A
Well now the time has come to leave you
E                    A
One more time please let me kiss you
E                        A             B
Then close your eyes and I’ll be on my way.
E               A
Dream about the days to come
E                    A
When I won’t have to leave you alone
E               A               B
About the times I won’t have to say


[Chorus]
E            A
Kiss me and smile for me
E                   A
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
E                A            B
Hold me like you never let me go
          E       A
Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane
E               A                   E
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
   A              B
Oh babe I hate to go
    E       A
I’m leaving on a jet plane
E               A                   E
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
   A              B
Oh babe I hate to go
