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...-

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

I want to kill this Achilles' heel
