Pré-Chorus:

A minorAm    C majorC        A augmentedA     DmDm
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
   A augmentedA       G+G     A minorAm
But love the sweet air of the votives
A minorAm    C majorC        A augmentedA    DmDm
Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone
 A augmentedA       G+G     A minorAm
Engage with the pain as a motive

Chorus:

  DmDm    C majorC   G+G
Today of all days, see
E minorEm      C majorC    G+G      C majorC
How the most dangerous thing is to love

How you will heal and you’ll rise above

Verse:

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

Verse:

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

Pré=Chorus:

A minorAm     C majorC     A augmentedA     DmDm
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
A augmentedA     G+G     A minorAm
Chiming away for a moment
A minorAm    C majorC       A augmentedA     DmDm
Feel your breath course frankly below
    A augmentedA      G+G   A minorAm
And see life as a worthy opponent

Chorus:
 DmDm     C majorC   G+G
Today of all days, see
E minorEm      C majorC     G+G     C majorC
How the most dangerous thing is to love
E minorEm      C majorC        G+G   C majorC
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
E minorEm      C majorC    G+G     C majorC
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
A minorAm      G+G         C majorC
Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome

French language sample: A minorAm G+G C majorC DmDm

Verse:

   C majorC     A minorAm
You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers
    A minorAm       DmDm
(It’s not worth it, Achilles)

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

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

You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
 A minorAm    G+G     C majorC
(So much more than a rat)

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

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

(Be done with this now and get off the roof)

Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you

Bridge:

   DmDm     C majorC
I’m talking to you

I’m talking to you

I’m talking to you

Achilles, come down

Achilles, come down

Pré=Chorus:

A minorAm    G+G   G+G    A minorAm
Throw yourself into the unknown
   A minorAm    G+G   C majorC
With pace and a fury defiant
A minorAm     G+G    C majorC    A minorAm
Clothe yourself in beauty untold
     A minorAm    G+G     C majorC
And see life as a means to a triumph

Chorus:

DmDm      C majorC  G+G
Today of all days, see
E minorEm      C majorC     G+G     C majorC
How the most dangerous thing is to love
E minorEm      C majorC        G+G   C majorC
How you will heal and you’ll rise above
E minorEm      C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
A minorAm       G+G       C majorC
