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 breakin' it's early morn
       G                       C
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
     G              C                       D
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

Chorus:
      G                C               G                      C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
  G                        C              D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

         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               G                      C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
  G                        C              D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

         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               G                      C
So kiss me and smile for me; tell me that you'll wait for me
  G                        C              D
Hold me like you'll never let me go
                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....

                G      C
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
    G                    C                  G
Don't know when I'll be back again
        C                  D
Oh, babe, I hate to go....
