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 waiting', he's blowing' his horn
   G            C                D
Already I'm so lonesome, I could die

   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

           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

   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

G                C
Now the time has come to leave you
G             C
One more time let me kiss you
G                C             D        
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


   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

        
           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
