GC
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
GC
I'm standing here out-side your door
GCDDsus4D
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye.
GC
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn,
GC
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
GCDDsus4D
Al-ready I'm so lonesome I could die.
[Chorus]
GC
So kiss me and smile for me
GC
Tell me that you'll wait for me
GCDDsus4D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
GC
I'm leaving on a jet plane
GC
Don't know when I'll be back again
GCDDsus4DDsus2
Oh babe I hate to go
[Verse 2]
GC
There's so many times I've let you down
GC
So many times I've played around
GCDDsus4D
I tell you now they don't mean a thing
GC
Every place i go i'll think of you
GC
Every song i sing i'll sing for you
GCDDsus4D
When i come back i'll bring your wedding ring.
[Chorus]
GC
So kiss me and smile for me
GC
Tell me that you'll wait for me
GCDDsus4D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
GC
I'm leaving on a jet plane
GC
Don't know when I'll be back again
GCDDsus4DDsus2
Oh babe I hate to go
[Verse 3]
GC
Now the time has come to leave you
GC
One more time let me kiss you
GCDDsus4D
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way
GC
Dream about the days to come
GC
When I won't have to leave alone
GCDDsus4D
About the times I won't have to say.
[Chorus]
GC
So kiss me and smile for me
GC
Tell me that you'll wait for me
GCDDsus4D
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
GC
I'm leaving on a jet plane
GC
Don't know when I'll be back again
GCDDsus4D
Oh babe I hate to go
[Outro]
GC
I'm leaving on a jet plane
GC
Don't know when I'll be back again
GCD
Oh babe I hate to go
DDsus4DDsus2
{Goodbye Again}
[Verse 1]
GG/F#EmCG
It's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
GG/F#EmCD7
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
GG/F#EmCG
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
GG/F#EmCD7
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
[Chorus]
AmD7GG/F#Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
AmD7GG/F#Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
AmD7GG/F#Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
AmD7D7sus4
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Verse 2]
GG/F#EmCG
It seems a shame to leave you now, you lay so soft and warm
GG/F#EmCD7
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
GG/F#EmCG
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile
GG/F#EmCD7
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while
[Chorus]
AmD7GG/F#Em
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
AmD7GG/F#Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
AmD7GG/F#Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
AmD7D7sus4
Why do we always fight when I have to go
[Bridge]
BmCGG/F#Em
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know
AmD7G
Some who aren't familiar with my name,
BmCGG/F#Em
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand
AmCD7D7sus4
It’s anyone who listens to me sing
[Verse 3]
GG/F#EmCG
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame
GG/F#EmCD7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same
GG/F#EmCG
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
GG/F#EmCD7
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
[Chorus]
AmD7GG/F#Em
Goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you
AmD7GG/F#Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
AmD7GG/F#Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
AmD7D7sus4D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
