Death Cab For Cutie es un grupo de indie-rock original de Bellingham, Washington. Se formó en 1997 y toma su nombre de una canción escrita por Vivian Stanshall, que forma parte del disco Gorilla (1967) de The Bonzo Dog Band y de la película experimental de The Beatles: Magical Mistery Tour.
Death Cab For Cutie comenzó como un proyecto en solitario de Ben Gibbard mientras era el guitarrista de Pinwheel. Como "Death Cab for Cutie", Gibbard editó un primer cassette llamado You Can Play These Songs With Chords.

Verse 1:
Gbm7B7EAGbm7B7EA It was one hundred degrees, as we sat beneath a willow tree,
Gbm7B7EAGbm7B7 Who's tears didn't care, they just hung in the air, and refused to fall, to
EA fall--
Verse 2:
Gbm7B7EA And I knew I'd made horrible call,
Gbm7B7EA And now the state line felt like the Berlin wall,
Gbm7B7EA And there was no doubt about which side I was on, mhm.
Interlude: GbmB7DA
Bridge:
GbmBbmEmBbm Cause I built you a home in my heart,
GbmBbmAE With rotten wood, it decayed from the start.
Chorus:
DAE Cause you can't find nothing at all,
DAE - repeat -
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
Interlude: GbmB7DA - repeat -
Verse 3:
I braved treacherous streets,
And kids strung out on homemade speed.
And we shared a bed in which I could not sleep,
At all, woo, hoo, woo, hooOoOo.
Verse 2:
Cause at night the sun in retreat,
Made the skyline look like crooked teeth,
In the mouth of a man who was devouring, us both.
Bridge:
You're so cute when you're slurring your speech,
But they're closing the bar and they want us to leave.
Chorus:
And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
No you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
GbmBbm7 I'm a war, of head versus heart,
Gbm And it's always this way.
GbmE My head is weak, my heart always speaks,
AE Before I know what it will say.
Chorus:
And you can't find nothing at all,
If there was nothing there all along.
There were churches, theme parks and malls,
But there was nothing there all along.
