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


[French language sample]
F#m F#m E E A A


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


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m F#m A A F# F# Bm Bm
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
F# F# E E F#m F#m
But love the sweet air of the votives
F#m F#m A A F# F# Bm Bm
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
F# F# E E F#m F#m
Engage with the pain as a motive


[Chorus]
Bm Bm A A E E
Today of all days, see
C#m C#m A A E E A A
How the most dangerous thing is to love
C#m C#m A A E E A A
How you will heal and you’ll rise above


[French language sample]
F#m F#m E E A A Bm Bm


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


[French language sample]
F#m F#m E E A A Bm Bm


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


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m F#m A A F# F# Bm Bm
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
F# F# E E F#m F#m
Chiming away for a moment
F#m F#m A A F# F# Bm Bm
Feel your breath course frankly below
F# F# E E F#m F#m
And see life as a worthy opponent


[Chorus]
Bm Bm A A E E
Today of all days, see
C#m C#m A A E E A A
How the most dangerous thing is to love
C#m C#m A A E E A A
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
C#m C#m A A E E A A
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
F#m F#m E E A A
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome


[French language sample]
F#m F#m E E A A Bm Bm


[Verse 5]
A A F#m F#m
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
F#m F#m Bm Bm
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)

More poignant than fame or the taste of another
F#m F#m A A
(Don’t listen, Achilles)

But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
F#m F#m A A
(You’re worth more, Achilles)

You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
F#m F#m E E A A
(So much more than a rat)

You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
F#m F#m E E E E
(No one asked your opinion)

You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
F#m F#m Bm Bm
(No one asked for your thoughts)
E E E E Bm Bm
Be done with this now and jump off the roof

(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
F#m F#m A A C#m C#m E E
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you


[Bridge]
Bm Bm A A
I’m talking to you
A A E E
I’m talking to you
A A E E
I’m talking to you
F#m F#m E E
Achilles, come down
A A E E Bm Bm
Achilles, come down


[French language sample]
F#m F#m E E A A Bm Bm A A


[Pre-Chorus]
F#m F#m E E E E F#m F#m
Throw yourself into the unknown
F#m F#m E E A A
With pace and a fury defiant
F#m F#m E E A A F#m F#m
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
F#m F#m E E A A
And see life as a means to a triumph


[Chorus]
Bm Bm A A E E
Today of all days, see
C#m C#m A A E E A A
How the most dangerous thing is to love
C#m C#m A A E E A A
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
C#m C#m A A E E A A
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
F#m F#m E E A A
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
