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

[Verse 2]
F#m       E           A             F#m
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
          F#m          E             A
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
     F#m               E            A          E
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
F#m            E          F#m
Remember the pact of our youth
      F#m          E         A            B
Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping
      F#m         E           F#m
Since there is no me without you
F#m          E         A         F#m
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
         F#m           E               A
Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m        A                F#         Bm
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
     F#             E          F#m
But love the sweet air of the votives
F#m       A                F#       Bm
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
  F#              E         F#m
Engage with the pain as a motive
 
 
[Chorus]
   Bm        A     E
Today of all days, see
C#m            A        E           A
How the most dangerous thing is to love
C#m           A               E    A
How you will heal and you’ll rise above

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

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

[Verse 5]
     A          F#m
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
       F#m             Bm
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)
 
More poignant than fame or the taste of another
       F#m       A
(Don’t listen, Achilles)
 
But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
         F#m          A
(You’re worth more, Achilles)
 
You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
 F#m       E         A
(So much more than a rat)
 
You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got
 F#m     E          E
(No one asked your opinion)
 
You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts
 F#m                   Bm
(No one asked for your thoughts)
    E                    E            Bm
Be done with this now and jump off the roof
 
(Be done with this now and get off the roof)
       F#m        A             C#m         E
Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you
 
 
[Bridge]
     Bm         A
I’m talking to you
    A          E
I’m talking to you
    A          E
I’m talking to you
F#m             E
Achilles, come down
A              E Bm
Achilles, come down

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m        E     E        F#m
Throw yourself into the unknown
      F#m        E      A
With pace and a fury defiant
F#m         E       A        F#m
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
         F#m        E         A
And see life as a means to a triumph
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm           A    E
Today of all days, see
C#m           A         E          A
How the most dangerous thing is to love
C#m           A               E     A
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
C#m            A        E           A
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
F#m             E              A
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome
