Chords

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.
