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

Chorus:
            Em riff                   G
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
        D                     C             G

I put your picture away, sat down and cried today

           D                                   C          G
That there half-wided smiles tell me something just ain't right
                                          C                                       D
I've been waitin' on you for a long time, fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
                   C                 G
I ain't heard from you in three damn nights

Chorus:

I put your picture away, I wonder where you been

Verse 3:
G
I saw you yesterday with an old friend
           C                                  D
It was the same ole' same "how have you been"
                                        C       G
Since you've been gone my world's been dark and grey

You reminded me of brighter days
C                                            D
I hoped you where comin' home to stay, I was headed to church
C                      G
I was off to drink you away
                                    C                                  D
I thought about you for a long time, can't seem to get you off my mind
                                   C          G
I can't understand why we're living life this way

Chorus:
             Em riff                     G
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
       D               C                      G
I just called to say I want you, to come back home
             Em riff                     G
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways
       D               C                      G
I just called to say I want you, to come back home
       D               C                   G
I just called to say I love you, come back 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.
