I couldn't find any tabs for this song so i tried to figure it out myself with the help
their performance on Letterman.  This is just a simplified version to help others get
and hopefully someone else will be able to add onto this and make it better because this
my first attempt at tabbing a song.
 
intro:
either have one guitar do strum this:
|----|
|----|
|--2-|
|--2-|
|--0-|
|----|
 
while a second comes in with this:
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
|-0-(x8)----------------| (x2)
|--------4-(x8)--2-(x16)|
|-----------------------|
|-----------------------|
 
or combine them like this:
|------------------------|
|------------------------|
|-0-(x8)--0--------------|
|-2-------4-(x8)--2-(x16)|
|-0-------0-------0------|
|------------------------|
 
the other guitar riff in the intro is:
|---------------------|
|-8----8--------------|
|--9-----7---9--------| (x2)
|---------------10-9--|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
 
verse: (1st 2 lines palm-muted)
            Am                   C                Em           Em
I could of sworn that I saw you knee bent on the bedside,
       Am                        C                   Em        Em
Arms stretched like a kite that time will eventually grow.
|---------------------|
|-------------------1-|
|---------------5-4-2-|
|---------------5-4-2-|
|---------------3-2-0-|
|---------------------|I'm so sure of it
 Am             C           Em         Em
And I've got a reason, too long, for songs
      Am                      C                Em       Em
That tells why your legs and arms are actually able.
 
 
chorus:
 
Cause I confide in wolves at night.

I've got to crucify myself if I am gonna believe you
             Am                               C                      Em    Em
I've got to promise that I’ll finish all the things I said I'd do to begin with too
             Am      C                     Em         Em
I've got to make my bed if I am gonna lay with you
           Am                     C                                  Em    Em
Cause a disaster's a disaster no matter what Christian language you drag it through
 
chorus:
 
Cause I confide in wolves at night.

gutterButter, i think you're wrong about the power chords. watch them play it on letterman, andy didn't use power chords for the palm-muted parts. as far as not having an f chord, i think he's just playing the bottom 4 strings, not a full f chord. so that might make a difference. i would change the chorus slightly though: [tab] |-----------------------------------------0---------------| -------------1-1----1-1----1-1-1-1-1------0---------------| |------------0-0----0-0----2-2-2-2-2------0---------------| |------------2-2----0-0----2-2-2-2-2------2-(x about 20)--| |------------3-3----2-2----0-0-0-0-0------2---------------| |-----------------------------------------0---------------| [/tab]

The F chord is Fmaj7... doesn't make too big of a difference but it makes it easier to play... Fmaj7 [xx3210] And for the part where he says "ca ca ca ca crucify..." I play octaves on A (5th fret, E string), C (3rd fret, A string), and E (7th fret, A string)... with a slight bend towards the end And finally the lead part is up an octave the last two times it is played... but that's obvious enough
