# this one's for my enbies lol

[Verse 1]
Am        G        C               Am
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
          Am          G              Am
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
       Am             G          C          G
You’re scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Am                 G                C
Achilles, it’s not much but there’s proof
    Am           G            C          Am
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
 Am             G          C
Redemption lies plainly in truth
     Am          G        C               D
Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
         Am           G              Am
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?

[Verse 2]
Am       G           C             Am
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
          Am          G             C
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
     Am               G            C          G
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Am            G          Am
Remember the pact of our youth
      Am          G         C            D
Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping
      Am         G           Am
Since there is no me without you
Am          G         C         Am
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
         Am           G               C
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am        C                A         Dm
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
     A             G          Am
But love the sweet air of the votives
Am       C                A       Dm
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
  A              G         Am
Engage with the pain as a motive
 
 
[Chorus]
   Dm        C     G
Today of all days, see
Em            C        G           C
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Em           C               G    C
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
 
 
[French language sample]
Am G C Dm
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am        G         C          Am
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
        Am        G         C
You are absent of cause or excuse
Am        G           C         Am
So self-indulgent and self-referential
    Am           G         Am
No audience could ever want you
    Am           G          C        G
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
      Am           G         C
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
       Am    C            C          Am
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
       Am          G            Am
It's a pointless resistance for you

Am G C Dm
 
 
[Verse 4]
Am        G                  C       Am
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
       Am        G             C
Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed
     Am         G            C      Am
It’s chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
    Am              G        C
Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue
    Am           G           C           Dm
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
     Am        G              C
It’s all just conjecture and gloom
          Am         G           C             Dm
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
   Am           G             C
Do not waste yourself on this roof
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am          C          A          Dm
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
A         G         Am
Chiming away for a moment
Am        C             A         Dm
Feel your breath course frankly below
        A           G      Am
And see life as a worthy opponent
 
 
[Chorus]
  Dm         C     G
Today of all days, see
Em           C          G          C
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Em           C               G     C
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Em            C        G          C
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Am            G                 C
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome

Am G C Dm
 
 
[Verse 5]
     C          Am
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
       Am             Dm
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)
 
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
       Am       C
(Don’t listen, Achilles)
 
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
         Am          C
(You’re worth more, Achilles)
 
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
 Am       G         C
(So much more than a rat)
 
You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
 Am     G          G
(No one asked your opinion)
 
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
 Am                   Dm
(No one asked for your thoughts)
    G                    G            Dm
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
 
(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
       Am        C             Em         G
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you
 
 
[Bridge]
     Dm         C
I’m talking to you
    C          G
I’m talking to you
    C          G
I’m talking to you
Am             G
Achilles, come down
C              G Dm
Achilles, come down
 
 
[French language sample]
Am G C Dm C
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am        G     G        Am
Throw yourself into the unknown
      Am        G      C
With pace and a fury defiant
Am         G       C        Am
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
         Am        G         C
And see life as a means to a triumph
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm           C    G
Today of all days, see
Em           C         G          C
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Em           C               G     C
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Em            C        G           C
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Am             G              C
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
