The tale I'm gonna tell

Together they discovered with each other

The perfection of an outdoor day

They had won some kinda prize

For selling way more stuff than the other guys

They were the shrewdest unit-movers

So their bosses got 'em tours of the countryside

Verse 2:
C A
Holly saw a certain bird
Dm G
But she couldn't work up any words
F Fm
She kinda lost her shoes and lost her mind
C C
And smashed her phone upon a fallen pine
C A
And Darryl couldn't talk at all
Dm G
He wondered how the trees had grown to be so tall
F Fm
He calculated all the height and width and density
C C
For insurance purposes
Chorus 1:
E F
And at the desktop there's crying sounds
C
For all the projects due
A
And no one else is around
Dm
And the sprinklers that come on at 3 am
G
Sound like crowds of people asking
G7
"Are you happy what you're doing?"
C A Dm G F Fm C C
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
C A Dm G F Fm C C
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Chorus 2:

Verse 3:
C A
Becky wondered why
Dm G
She'd never noticed dragonflies
F
Her drag and click had never yielded
Fm C C
Anything as perfect as a dragonfly
C A
And then the supervisor stood right
Dm G
In the creek and it felt really good
F Fm
And that's about the time he finally had realized
C A
The importance of this day
F
And that's about the time he realized
Fm C A
That he was with the group who couldn't say (hey hey)
Dm G
And it felt so good it hurt, forget the words
F Fm C
They were the group who couldn't say
