Achilles Heel

Intro: Bbm Gb Db F F7
 
Verse 1:
Bbm
I swear on my life and the River Styx
        Gb
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
        Db                              F
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold
 

     Bbm
Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
   Gb
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
    Db                              F
You lured me like a siren to the shore
 
Pre-chorus 1:
      Bbm              F
Now I can't keep this love
           Bbm         Ab  Gb
'Cause it always hurts too much
       Db                 Eb
I keep crumbling, I keep stumbling
       Ab               F       (nc)
'Cause you've become my crutch
 
Chorus:
(nc)                      Ab
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Bbm            Abm  Ab         Gb          F
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
  Bbm   Ab           Gb                    Ab     Bbm
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
  Ab       Gb                 Bbm
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
 
Verse 2:
 
You said you wanted me, no strings attached
    Gb
I guess I have the Fates to thank for that
        Db
Call me Icarus
                    F
'cause bG#y, you're my sun
 

             Bbm
But now I'm turning to stone looking in your eyes
            Gb                                 Db
'Cause you love hard, Kore only half the time
                           F
Athena'd be jealous of the web you spun
 
Pre-chorus 2:
Bbm                 Cm
Like Atlas held too much
        Bbm       Ab       Gb
I feel crushed under this love
                  Db
'Cause with those nectar lips
       Eb
And ambrosia hips
     Ab               F
Boy, you've become my drug
 
Chorus:
 Bbm      Abm    Ab  Gb    Ab
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Bbm       Abm           Ab     Gb
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
  Bbm         Ab      Gb         Ab         Bbm
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
Ab         Gb
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
 
Post-chorus:
Bbm      Ab Gb               Ab   Bbm  Ab
Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' heel  (mm, mm)
Gb                       Bbm
Don't wanna have to heal
Ab       Gb              Ab
(Mm) Achilles, Achilles' Heel
Bbm        Ab      Gb
I don't want to have to heal
 
Bridge:
Bbm
Now it's time to bring the choir
 
Play your game and string the lyre
Gb
Boy, I'm like Prometheus
 
Finally taking back my fire
Db
(Finally taking back my fire,
Cm                      Fm
Finally taking back my fire)
 

       Bbm
Your horse is in the gate again
 
But this time I won't let it in
     Gb
I'm closing that Pandora's Box
 
Escaping from this labyrinth
 Db
(Escaping from this labyrinth,
 
Escaping from this labyrinth,
Cm
Escaping from this labyrinth,
 
labyrinth, labyrinth)
 

Bbm
No more looking back like Orpheus
 
LG#or like I'm Heracles
Gb
You're losing your golden touch
 
I'll end this part like my name's Paris
 Db
(I'll end this part like my name's Paris,
F                           (nc)
my is Paris, my is Paris...)
