A great song, kind of hard to tab though because there's so much going on...
Tuning: Dropped D (DADGBe)
*The guitar part throughout the song is basically just playing octaves:

Since the song is entirely based around this structure (the chorus is picked like that
I won't tab the rest...but here are the chords for the entire song:
Intro A, D
A
I keep my head uptight
F#m
I make my plans at night
D
And I don't sleep I don't sleep I don't sleep 'til it's light
A D F#m
Something's flowing, someone buried alive
(A, D between verses)
Chorus
E/G# F#m E
You know our hearts beat time out very slowly
E
You know our hearts beat time
D A F#m
They're waiting for something that'll never arrive
*then, right before the last chorus:
Bm
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
E
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Bm
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
F#m
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
The last chorus is just the guitar which is going:
(you know our... ...very slowly)

(AKA E, F#m, E, D, A, F#m)
The outro is just F#m, with *maybe* a D chord thrown in there (similar to the rhythm of
intro chords, replace the A with the D) but it's hard to tell because the toms on the
kind of muddy the bass
Chords: (I'll give the dropped D chords too - they might be easier)
