Introduction, repeat through first verse
Smeared black ink, your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening to last demands.
I'm staring at the asphalt wonderin', what's buried underneath?

one worth leaving.

It's hard to match the energy of the final chorus with just your acoustic
guitar, but strumming it strongly while picking up the tempo some will help.

This ending is different than the ending in the song but it sounds the same and
acts as a good ending for an acoustic version. Just strum/pick it slowly and
ambiently then fade it out.
