Intro:

Bm - C - G

Verse:

Bm
When Miguel hit the ground, 
C
I threw the padlock in the trash. 
G
Finally found out, 
G
just how much it takes. 

Bm
For one whole year he spent, 
C
making me turn red. 
G
Forget the light ahead, 
G
forget the light ahead. 

Bm
Did I come to meet 
C
the felon in my head? 
G
He's been stretching me, 
G
right up on the racks. 

Bm
For years it's been the same, 
C
ignoring all the facts. 
G
Forget the light ahead, 
G
forget the light ahead. 

Chorus:

Bm
It'll all live on (x2)
C
It'll all live on (x2)
G

Bm
Hiding from the moon, 
C
under a live oak tree. 
G
How could I forgive 
G
what you said to me? 

Bm
Sure as the sun will rise, 
C
you pay the penance in your bed. 
G
Forget the light ahead, 
G
forget the light ahead. 

Chorus repeats

Bm
We gotta leave at three, 
C
take the highway round the bend. 
G
Holding on to memories, 
G
never let a good night end. 

Bm
But as the morning came, 
C
I can't remember what I said. 
G
Forget the light ahead, 
G
forget the light ahead. 


Bm
It'll all live on... (x2)
C
It'll all live on... (x2)
G
