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.

So I wrote this out when I was like 17 and hadn't looked at in years until I logged in, cheers for the snarky comments; I have taken them into consideration and fixed the chord progression at the end. Sounds fairly legit if you can get the picking pattern down right. (Also to the smart dude who made a comment about a bunch of the lyrics missing - props to you if you can pick out which ones they are, because I can't find them, sir)
Capo 5th fret, standard tuning
[Intro] AmCFCC/B AmCG AmCEAmGFFmC
[Verse 1] CAm Love of mine, someday you will die, F But I will be close behind, CG I'll follow you into the dark.
CAm No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white, F Just our hands clasped so tight, CG Waiting for the hint of a spark.
[Chorus] AmCFCC/B If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, ]Am CG Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs, AmCEAmG if there's no-one beside you when your soul embarks, FFmC I will follow you into the dark.
[Verse 2] CAm Catholic school, as vicious as roman rule, FCG I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black. CAmF I held my tongue, as she told me "Son, fear is the heart of love" CG So i never went back.
[Chorus]
AmCFCC/B If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, ]Am CG Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs, AmCEAmG if there's no-one beside you when your soul embarks, FFmC I will follow you into the dark.
[Verse 3] CAm You and me have seen everything to see, F From Bangkok to Calgary, CG And the soles of your shoes,
CAm Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now, F But it's nothing to cry about , CGAmF 'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms.
[Chorus] AmCFCC/B If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied, ]Am CG Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs, AmCEAmG if there's no-one beside you when your soul embarks, FFmC I will follow you into the dark.
