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.

(Into F with F-C note progression beginning)
[Verse]
F
Love of mine,
Dm
Someday you will die
Bb
But I will be close behind
F C
I will follow, you into the dark
F
No blinding light
Dm
Or tunnels to gates of white
Bb
Just our hands clasped so tight
F C
Waiting for, the hint of a spark
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm F C
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm F A Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
[Verse]
F
Catholic school
Dm
As vicious as roman rule
Bb
I got my knuckles bruised
F C
By a lady in black
F Dm Bb
And I held my tongue as she told me, "son, fear is the heart of love."
F C
So I never went back
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm F C
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm F A Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
[Verse]
F Dm
You and me, have seen everything to see
Bb
From Bangkok to Calgary
F C
And the soles of your shoes
F Dm
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
Bb
But it's nothing to cry about
F C Dm Bbm
Because we'll hold each other soon, in the blackest of rooms
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb F C
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied
Dm F C
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
Dm F A Dm C
If there's no one beside you, when your soul embarks
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
Bb Bbm F
Then I will follow you into the dark
