[Verse 1]
Bbm
I swear on my life and the River Styx
Gb
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
DbF
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold
Bbm
Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
Gb
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
DbF
You lured me like a siren to the shore
[Pre-Chorus 1]
BbmF
Now I can't keep this love
BbmAbGb
'Cause it always hurts too much
DbEb
I keep crumbling, I keep stumbling
Ab F N.C.
'Cause you've become my crutch
[Chorus]
N.C. Ab
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
BbmAbmAbGbF
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
BbmAbGbAbBbm
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
AbGbBbm
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 baby, you're my sun
Bbm
But now I'm turning to stone looking in your eyes
GbDb
'Cause you love hard, Kore only half the time
F
Athena'd be jealous of the web you spun
[Pre-Chorus 2]
BbmCm
Like Atlas held too much
BbmAbGb
I feel crushed under this love
Db
'Cause with those nectar lips
Eb
And ambrosia hips
AbF
Boy, you've become my drug
[Chorus]
BbmAbmAbGbAb
Loving you's my Achilles' heel
BbmAbmAbGb
Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal
BbmAbGbAbBbm
I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles
AbGb
I want to kill this Achilles' heel
[Post-Chorus]
BbmAbGbAbBbmAb
Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' heel (mm, mm)
GbBbm
Don't wanna have to heal
AbGbAb
(Mm) Achilles, Achilles' Heel
BbmAbGb
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,
CmFm
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
Labor 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 N.C.
my is Paris, my is Paris...)
[Chorus]

Loving you's my Achilles' heel

Drop my guard when you're with me, I can't deal

I just hate when I walk on these pins and needles

(Mm) Don't wanna have to he-e-a-l

Achilles, Achilles' Heel
Bbm Ab N.C.
I don't want to have to heal
