[Verse 1]
N.C.   D
All my bags are packed
    G
I'm ready to go
    D                G
I'm standin' here outside your door
  D       A           Bm   D           G   A
I hate to wake you up   to say goodbye

        D
But the dawn is breakin'
     G
It's early morn
    D
The taxi's waitin'
     G
He's blowin' his horn
D         A      Bm       D
  Already I'm so lonesome
           G   A
I could die


[Chorus]
   D           G
So kiss me and smile for me
D                   G
Tell me that you'll wait for me
D         A             Bm           D  G  A
  Hold me   like you'll never let me go
           D       G
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
D                 G
  Don't know when I'll be back again
D A       Bm   D       G  A
  Oh babe,   I hate to go


[Verse 2]
           D                       G
There's so many times I've let you down
   D                       G
So many times I've played around
      D             A   Bm         D      G     A
But I tell you now that they don't mean a thing
      D                         G
Every place I go, I'll think of you
      D                      G
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
     D      A          Bm        D            G  A
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring


[Chorus]
   D           G
So kiss me and smile for me
D                   G
Tell me that you'll wait for me
D         A             Bm           D  G  A
  Hold me   like you'll never let me go
           D       G
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
D                 G
  Don't know when I'll be back again
D A       Bm   D         G  A
  Oh babe,   I hate to go


[Verse 3]
D                    G
Now the time has come   to leave you
D                    G
  One more time just   let me kiss you
D         A         Bm     D             G    A
  Then close your eyes and I'll be on my way
     D                 G
Just dream about the days to come
     D                      G
When I won't have to leave alone
 D        A        Bm    D           G  A
About the times, I won't have to say


[Chorus]
D           G
Kiss me and smile for me
D                   G
Tell me that you'll wait for me
D         A             Bm           D  G  A
  Hold me   like you'll never let me go
           D       G
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
D                 G
  Don't know when I'll be back again
D A       Bm   D         G  A
  Oh babe,   I hate to go


[Chorus]
   D           G
So kiss me and smile for me
D                   G
Tell me that you'll wait for me
D         A           Bm           D   G  A
  Hold me like you'll never let me go
           D            G
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
D                 G
  Don't know when I'll be back again
D         G
  Leavin'   on a jet plane
D                 G
  Don't know when I'll be back again
D A       Bm   D       G
  Oh babe,   I hate to go
