From what I can tell this is the way Crown The Empire plays it in their live acoustic version.
The video can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkOaQdVD2Yg
(The Bridge, "you think this is the end your wrong," part of the song and 3rd chorus after
aren't actually played in the live acoustic version so that part is up for speculation or can be ignored.)

Dm F
As I stare into these ruins made by man
Gm A#
I tremble as I realize it's the end
Dm F
More and more I wonder what we could have done
Gm A#
But instead we wage a war that can't be won
Gm A#
Yeah instead we wage a war that can't be won
Dm F
I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved
Gm
Memories of a broken heart
A#
Now I'm alone in the dark.
Dm F
I know there's a way out when all hope is gone
Gm
Find your light in a new dawn
A# Dm A#
But there's no way to do this on our own.
F C
Whoa
Dm
I search for solace in this waste That I once called home
A# F
But my attempts of piecing life together leaves me alone
I can't repair what's been done
C
When the sky is as black as the ground that I walk on
Dm A#
And I can't give up on this (And I can't give up on this)
F
I have to wonder what we could have done
C
I have to (fuckin) wonder
Dm A#
But instead we wage a war that can't be won

But instead we wage a war that can't be won

I stand on the ash of all I've ever loved

This is the start of a new generation
