[Intro]
B  E  2x


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


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


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


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


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


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