G C Am C G D7
 
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                D    D7
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry.
 
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me,
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
G                Am           D   D7
Hold me like you never let me go.
 
           G       C
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane,
G                C                  G
 Don't know when I'll be back again.
   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                 D     D7
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring.
 
   G           C
So kiss me and smile for me,
G                   C
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
G                Am           D   D7
Hold me like you never let me go.
 
           G       C

 Don't know when I'll be back again.
   C               D   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               D    D7
About the times I won't have to say.

Hold me like you never let me go.

 Don't know when I'll be back again.

Oh babe, I hate to go.
