D5                     G5
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go 
     D5                G5
I'm standing here outside your door 
  D5                G5             A5
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye 
 
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn' 

the taxi 's waiting, he's blowing his horn,  

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

   D5           G5
So kiss me and smile for me 
D5                    G5
tell me that you'll wait for me 
D5                    G5            A5
hold me like you'll never let me go 
     D5       G5
I'm leaving on a jetplane, 
D5                G5
don't know when I'll be back again, 
D5       G5            A5
oh babe I'd hate to go  
             D5
I'd hate to go... 
             
There 're so many times I've let you down 

so many times I've played around 

but now you know that they don't mean a thing 
 
Every place I go, I'll think of you 

Every song I sing, I'll sing for you 

When I come back I'll wear your weddingring 

So kiss me and smile for me 

tell me that you'll wait for me 

hold me like you'll never let me go 
 
I'm leaving on a jetplane 

don't know when I'll be back again 

Oh babe, I hate to go 

I hate to go... 
 
Now the time has come to leave you 

one more time, let me kiss you 

close your eyes and I'll be on my way 
 
Dream about the days to come 

when I won't have to leave alone, 

about the times when I don't have to say...:
