    G          C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
  G         C
I'm standing here out-side your door
 G        C       D
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
    G           C
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
  G          C
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
  G        C      D
Al-ready I'm so lonesome I could die.

So kiss me and smile for me

G          C       D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
  G    C
I'm leaving on a jet plane

  Don't know when I'll be back again

 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'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
So kiss me and smile for me

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
A-bout the times I won't have to say.

 Oh babe I hate to go
