I didn't tab out all of the slide guitar and little riffs during the verses
chorus, but I did do the solo.

Verse 1:
Living my life in a slow hell, different [C]girl every night at the hotel[D]
I ain't seen the sun shine in[C] three damn [G]days
Been fuelin' up on cocain and whisky, [C]wish I had a good girl to miss me[D]
Lord I wonder if I'll ever [C]change my [G]ways

Verse 3:
[G]I saw you yesterday with an old friend
It was the [C]same ole' same "how have you b[D]een"
Since you've been gone my world's been d[C]ark and [G]grey
You reminded me of brighter days
[C]I hoped you where comin' home to stay, I was [D]headed to church
[C]I was off to drink you [G]away
I thought about you for a long time,[C] can't seem to get you off my mind[D]
I can't understand why we're living[C] life this [G]way
Chorus:
Em riff G
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
I just [D]called to say I [C]want you, to come back [G]home
Em riff G
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
I just [D]called to say I [C]want you, to come back [G]home
I just [D]called to say I [C]love you, come back [G]home
for the "bending" part:
Bend to a B and before "unbending", hit the B string (also being bent
to a D note(this is done simultaneously when you bend the B sting)) and
then "unbend" the B string.
"Em Riff":
The tab is easy, but once you get the rhythm right, it sounds just like it.
Also, this basically how I would tab it, but it sounds like they play it a bit
sloppier. In between each hammer on, rest your hand on the strings to deaden them.
