Tom: C

C                    F        G 
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go. 
    C                 F         G 
I'm standing here, outside your door. 
  C                Am            G 
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. 
        C                      F     G 
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn, 
C                    F           G 
Taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn 
  C            Am               G 
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry. 
 
: 
   C           F             C                   F 
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me. 
C                   Am           G 
Hold me like you'll never let me go. 
    C       F                 C               F 
I'm leaving on a jet plane, I don't know when I'll be back again. 
C  Am              G 
Oh babe, I hate to go. 
 
         C              F       G 
There so many time I've let you down, 
   C              F       G 
So many times I've played around. 
 
   C             Am                G 
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing. 
      C             F        G 
Every place I go, I think of you, 
      C              F        G 
Every song I sing, I sing for you. 
     C                 Am                G 
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring. 
 
 
 
C                F       G 
Now the time has come to leave you. 
C              F      G 
One more time, let me kiss you. 
     C                Am            G 
Then close your eyes, I'll be on my way. 
C               F       G 
Dream about the days to come, 
     C               F      G 
When I won't have to leave alone. 
 C             Am              G 
About the time I won't have to say . . .
