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


[French language sample]
Am Am G G C C


[Verse 2]
Am Am G G C C Am Am
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Am Am G G C C
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
Am Am G G C C G G
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Am Am G G Am Am
Remember the pact of our youth
Am Am G G C C D D
Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping
Am Am G G Am Am
Since there is no me without you
Am Am G G C C Am Am
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Am Am G G C C
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?


[Pre-Chorus]
Am Am C C A A Dm Dm
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
A A G G Am Am
But love the sweet air of the votives
Am Am C C A A Dm Dm
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
A A G G Am Am
Engage with the pain as a motive


[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C G G
Today of all days, see
Em Em C C G G C C
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Em Em C C G G C C
How you will heal and you’ll rise above


[French language sample]
Am Am G G C C Dm Dm


[Verse 3]
Am Am G G C C Am Am
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now
Am Am G G C C
You are absent of cause or excuse
Am Am G G C C Am Am
So self-indulgent and self-referential
Am Am G G Am Am
No audience could ever want you
Am Am G G C C G G
You crave the applause yet hate the attention
Am Am G G C C
Then miss it, your act is a ruse
Am Am C C C C Am Am
It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now
Am Am G G Am Am
It's a pointless resistance for you


[French language sample]
Am Am G G C C Dm Dm


[Verse 4]
Am Am G G C C Am Am
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Am Am G G C C
Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed
Am Am G G C C Am Am
It’s chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
Am Am G G C C
Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue
Am Am G G C C Dm Dm
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
Am Am G G C C
It’s all just conjecture and gloom
Am Am G G C C Dm Dm
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Am Am G G C C
Do not waste yourself on this roof


[Pre-Chorus]
Am Am C C A A Dm Dm
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
A A G G Am Am
Chiming away for a moment
Am Am C C A A Dm Dm
Feel your breath course frankly below
A A G G Am Am
And see life as a worthy opponent


[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C G G
Today of all days, see
Em Em C C G G C C
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Em Em C C G G C C
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Em Em C C G G C C
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Am Am G G C C
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome


[French language sample]
Am Am G G C C Dm Dm


[Verse 5]
C C Am Am
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
Am Am Dm Dm
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)

More poignant than fame or the taste of another
Am Am C C
(Don’t listen, Achilles)

But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
Am Am C C
(You’re worth more, Achilles)

You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
Am Am G G C C
(So much more than a rat)

You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
Am Am G G G G
(No one asked your opinion)

You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
Am Am Dm Dm
(No one asked for your thoughts)
G G G G Dm Dm
Be done with this now and jump off the roof

(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
Am Am C C Em Em G G
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you


[Bridge]
Dm Dm C C
I’m talking to you
C C G G
I’m talking to you
C C G G
I’m talking to you
Am Am G G
Achilles, come down
C C G G Dm Dm
Achilles, come down


[French language sample]
Am Am G G C C Dm Dm C C


[Pre-Chorus]
Am Am G G G G Am Am
Throw yourself into the unknown
Am Am G G C C
With pace and a fury defiant
Am Am G G C C Am Am
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
Am Am G G C C
And see life as a means to a triumph


[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C G G
Today of all days, see
Em Em C C G G C C
How the most dangerous thing is to love
Em Em C C G G C C
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
Em Em C C G G C C
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Am Am G G C C
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
