Well the (Amaj7)dawn is breaking, it's (D)early morn.
(Amaj7)Taxi's waiting, he's (D)blowing his horn,
(Amaj7)Already I'm so (D)lonesome I could (E)cry.

So (A)kiss me and (D)smile for me,
(A)Tell me that you'll (D)wait for me.
(A)Hold me like you'll (D)never let me (E)go.
I'm (A)leaving (D)on a jet plane,
(A)Don't know when (D)I'll be back again.(A)
Oh (D)Babe, I hate to (E)go.

There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've played around.
I'll tell you now, that they don't mean a thing.

Every place I go, I think of you.
Every song I sing, I sing for you.
When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring.

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh Babe, I hate to go.

Now the time has come to leave you,
One more time, let me kiss you.
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way.

Dream about the days to come,
When I won't have to leave alone,
About the time, I won't have to say,

So kiss me and smile for me,
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
I'm leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh Babe, I hate to go.
