Again, another version best done acoustic. My personal style is simple playing and emotional singing, and a lot of J Roddy's songs allow for this if you break them down and play acoustic. Anyways, hope you have fun with this one. Chords used:

(This part is mostly drums, so I like to just do one stab at the beginning of each line and maybe do a light tapping on the guitar so that it's not completely a capella. I'll provide the chords I do the stabs of.)
