D7     G                    C
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go,
    G                C
I'm standing here outside the door
  G                C             D7
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
        G                      C
But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn',
    G                    C
The Taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn.
  G            C                D7
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                Am           D7
Hold me like you never let me go.

           G       C
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
 G               C              D7
 Don't know when I'll be back again.
   G       C       D7
Oh babe, I hate to go.

D7         G               C                G               C
There's so many times I've let you down. So many times I've played around
  G            C                 D7
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
      G               C                   G             C
Ev'ry place I go I'll think of you, Ev'ry song I sing I sing for you.
G                     C                  D7
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                Am           D7
Hold me like you never let me go.

           G       C

 G               C              D7
 Don't know when I'll be back again.
   G       C       D7
Oh babe, I hate to go.

        D7       G    C             G                 C
Now the time has come to leave you, One more time let me kiss you,
     G                C             D7
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.
D7              G       C           G               C
Dream about the days to come,  When I won't have to leave alone,
 G              C               D7
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                Am           D7
Hold me like you never let me go.

Oh babe, I hate to go.
