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]
C/G
Love of mine
Am/E
someday you will die,
F
but I'll be close behind;
C G
I'll follow you into the dark.
C/G
No blinding light
Am/E
or tunnels to gates of white,
F
just our hands clasped so tight
C G
waiting for the hint of a spark.
[Chorus]
Am C F C G/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Am C G
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.
Am C E Am Am/G
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
F Fm C/G
then I'll follow you into the dark.
[Verse]
C/G
In Catholic school,
Am/E
as vicious as Roman rule,
F
I got my knuckles bruised
C G
by a lady in black.
C/G
And I held my tongue
Am/E
as she told me "Son,
F
fear is the heart of love".
C G
So I never went back.
[Chorus]
Am C F C G/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Am C G
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

then I'll follow you into the dark.
[Verse]
C/G
You and me
Am/E
have seen everything to see
F
from Bangkok to Calgary,
C G
and the soles of your shoes
C/G
are all worn down.
Am/E
The time for sleep is now
F
but it's nothing to cry about
C G
'cause we'll hold each other soon
Am F
in the blackest of rooms.
[Chorus]
Am C F C G/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
Am C G
illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs.

Then I'll follow you into the dark
