Dead And Gone Tab

by Metro Station


Hey, this is my first tab, and i think this sounds like how Metro Station
covered this in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge on 23rd March 2009. I'm no
expert, though! Enjoy :)

Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long
                            
Just tryna find my way back home,
                      
The old me's dead and gone,
         
Dead and gone.

                                        
Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long
                            
Just tryna find my way back home,
                      
The old me's dead and gone,
         
Dead and gone, oh.

(Trace Cyrus)

Ever had one of them days where you should've stayed home?

Run into a group of kids gettin' their hate on

You walk by, they get wrong,

You reply then it get blown

Way outta proportion way past discussion

Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em

Figure you get jumped, yeah that's next

They don't wanna stop that now they're bustin'

No more stress, now I'm straight.

Now I get it; now I take

Time to think before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
     
That part of me left yesterday

The heart of me is strong today
                                 
No regrets I'm blessed to say the old me's dead and gone away

{Mason)
                                       
Oh, I've been traveling down this road too long
                            
Just tryna find my way back home,
                      
The old me's dead and gone,
         
Dead and gone.

                                           
And Oh, I've been traveling on this road too long
                            
Just tryna find my way back home,
                      
The old me's dead and gone,
         
Dead and gone, oh.

(Trace)

I ain't neva been scared, I lived through tragic

Situations could've been dead lookin' back at it

Most of that stuff didn't even have to happen

But you don't think about it when you out there trappin
        
In the apartments hangin', smokin' and rappin'

Kids start up and you know we cappin'

Get locked up then didn't even get mad

Now I think about what a life I had

No more stress, Now I'm straight.

Now I get it; now I take

Time to think before I make mistakes just for my family's sake
     
That part of me left yesterday

The heart of me is strong today
                                                       
No regrets; I' m blessed to say the old me dead and gone away
