All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go

I'm standing here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say good-bye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn

The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
G C D(Guitar)
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
Chorus

So kiss me and smile for me

Riff 2
Verse
(Upstrokes first half, pm second)
There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've fucked around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing,
Every place I go I'll think of you,
Every song I sing I'll sing for you,
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
Repeat Chorus
Verse
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 be alone,
About the times I won't have to say
Repeat Chorus
G many strums for the end.
