Verse 3:
[G]I saw you yesterday with an old friend

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.
