( verse 1 )
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 breaking , it’s early morn ,
G C
the taxi’s waitin’ , he’s blowing his horn ,
G C D
already i’m so lonesome i could cry .

( chorus )
G C
so kiss me and smile for me ,
G C
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 leaving on a jet plane ,
G C
don’t know when i’ll be back again ,
G C D
oh , babe , i hate to go .

( verse 2 )
G C
there’s so many times i’ve let you down ,
G C
so many times i played around ,
G C D
i tell you 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 .

( repeat chorus )

( verse 3 )
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 :

( repeat chorus )

( outro )
G C
i’m leaving on a jet plane ,
G C
don’t know when i’ll be back again ,
G C D G
oh , babe , i hate to go .
