Verse 2: (Repeat chords from Verse 1: C C Em Em) the tortoise in the wheelchair wrapped his forehead in a bandage with a cast they made from plaster for his phony broken leg so he'd get pushed around the sidewalk by the zookeeper's assistant with the hummingbird observing from behind the yellow flower and he flapped his tiny wings they moved so fast you couldn't see them with resentment for the tortoise which was clear by his expression but the tortoise turned and smiled with a peacefulness which proved that there's a movement in our stillness and however much we move Chorus 2: (Repeat chords from Chorus 1: G G Em Em) we're bound to stand completely still we stand completely still we all stand completely still we stand completely still Let's all stand completely still Let's stand completely still Let's all stand completely still Let's stand completely still Bridge: C G Am Am x2 Ending: (Repeat Bridge chords until end)
