This version has the chord placements throughout the whole song. When I play it, i just 
the chords instead of trying to play the melody. Have Fun. Props to everyone else who

Chorus  (Justin Timberlake's Part) :

Am                                             C
Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long
                                    G
Just trying to find my way back home
                           F              E
The old me is dead and gone… dead and gone…     (Repeat)

Verse 1 (T.I.)

Am
Ever had one of dem days u wish woulda stayd home,
Run into a group of niggas getting they hate on
C
U walk by they get wrong u reply then sh*t get blown
G
Way outta proportion way past discussion,
Just u against them, pick one then rush em
F
Figure u get your hair? that next,
E
They don’t wanna stop there now they buzzin
Am
Now u gushin, ambulance rushin u to the hospital with a bad concussion
C
Plus ya hit 4 times plus it hit ya spine
paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound
     G
Nevermind that now u lucky to be alive,
Just think it all started u fussin with 3 guys
       F
Now ya pride in the way but ya pride is the way
        E
u could fuck around get shot die anyday
Am
Niggas die every day all over bull sh*t dope money dice game
ordinary hood sh*t
C
Could this be cuz of hip hop music
or did the ones with the good sense not use it
G
Usually niggas don’t kno what to do
when their back against the wall so they just start shootin
F                                        E
For red or for blue or for blow I guess, from Bankhead or from your projects
Am
No more stress, now im straight, now I get it now I take
C
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family’s sake
G
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
F                                E
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

Chorus

Verse 2 (T.I.)

Am
I aint never been scared, I lived through tragedy,
Situation coulda been dead lookin back at it
C
Most of that shit didn’t even have to happen,
But u don’t think about it when u out there trappin
G
In apartments hangin smokin and rappin,
Niggas start shit didn’t next thing ya kno we cappin
    F
Get locked up then didn’t even get mad,
    E
Now think about damn what a life I had
Am
Most of that sh*t look back just laugh, Some sh*t still look back just sad
C
Maybe my homboy still be around,
Had I not hit the nigga in the mouth that time
G
I won that fight, I lost that war,
I can still see my nigga walkin out that door
       F
Who’da thought I’d never see Philant no more,
     E
Got enough dead homies I don’t want no more
Am
Cost a nigga his job, cost me more, I’da took that ass-whoopin now for sure
C
Now think before I risk my life, Take them chances to get my stripe
G
A nigga put his hands on me alright,
Otherwise stand there talk sh*t all night
    F                       E
Cuz I hit you , you sue me, I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
Am
No more stress, now im straight, now I get it now I take
C
Time to think before I make mistakes just for my family’s sake
G
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
F                                E
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

Chorus

Bridge (J.T.)
Am
I turn my head to the east… I don’t see nobody by my side
C
I turn my head to the west… still nobody in sight
G
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
F                            E
The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright    (repeat)
