[Intro]
F Dm Bb
[Verse 1]
Dm Bb Dm Bb
You tempt me with your wild ride
F C Dm C
Living in the darkness of the shadow by your side
Dm Bb Dm Bb
But for all I give and what I gave
F C Dm C
There's little to be seen of the thanks that you've made
[Chorus]
Bb C F
And I don't wanna be towed like baggage
Bb C F
Or left behind like the wreckage
Bb Dm C
Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end
F
Like collateral damage

F C Dm C
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb Dm Bb
Alone I wait through the weeks
F C Dm C
But no word is louder than your silence speaks
Dm Bb Dm Bb
If I close mine will yours repeat
F C Dm C
The action of a heart accepting defeat?
[Chorus]
Bb C F
And I don't wanna be towed like baggage
Bb C F
Or left behind like the wreckage
Bb Dm C
Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end
F
Like collateral damage

[Bridge]
Dm Bb Dm Bb
And if I move on and shut you out
F C Dm C
Held up with pieces that will fail without doubt
Dm Bb Dm Bb
And you open up for me again
F C Dm C
And foolish I fall, learning nothing from where we've been
[Chorus]
Bb C F
And I don't wanna be towed like baggage
Bb C F
Or left behind like the wreckage
Bb Dm C
Maybe I could be loved as a means to an end
Dm C F
Like collateral damage
Bb C F
I don't wanna be held so careful
Bb C F
Or brushed aside too fragile
Bb Dm C
I just need to be loved like something that mattered
Dm
Like collateral damage
Bb Dm Bb F
C Dm C F
