[Intro]
C  F  2x


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


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


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


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


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


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