Verse 1:
    C               A 
The tale I'm gonna tell

    Dm                 G 
Is about the group who couldn't say

  F                             Fm 
Together they discovered with each other

                     C             C
The perfection of an outdoor day

         C               A 
They had won some kinda prize

    Dm                              G 
For selling way more stuff than the other guys

              F
They were the shrewdest unit-movers

         Fm                          C             C
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:
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?"
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
