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:
CEmF Oh, my talking bird
CGF Though you know so few words
CEmF They're on infinite repeat
CGF Like your brain can't keep up with your beak
CEmF And your kept in an open cage
CGF So you're free to leave or stay
CEmF And sometimes you get confused
CGF Like there is a hint I'm trying to give you
Chorus:
Dm The longer you think
GC The less you know what to do
Interlude:
EmF CGF
Verse:
CEmF Well it's hard to see your way out
CGF When you live in a house in a house
CEmF 'Cause you don't realize
CGF That the windows were open the whole time
CEmF But oh, my talking bird
CGF Though your feathers are tattered and furled
CEmF I love you all your days
CGF 'Til the breath leaves your delicate frame
Outro:
Dm It's all here for you
GAmGF As long as you choose to stay
Dm It's all here for you
GC As long as you don't fly away
