D  G  2x


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


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


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


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


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


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