This song is simply amazing. All of the Don't Believe The Truth Album is amazing. Individually the songs are extremely deep and orchestral. Put together, the entire album is a long connected story.
"I Guess God Thinks I'm Abel" in particular is at the point in the story where the main character in the story has a friend who he's in love with, but is also a friend so close, so he doesn't want to ruin what they have already. In this song he attempts to win her love and take it to the next plateau. But in the next song "Another Part of the Queue" shows that he isn't very successful. As the story progresses after that, it shows what he eventually does to win the woman of his dreams. It's brilliant because it seems everybody has been in that situation at one time or another.
