C#mAE
Driving home she grabs something to eat
F#mAC#m
Turns a corner and drives down her street
F#mE
Into a row of houses she just melts away
F#mA
Like a scenery in another man's play
B
Into a house where the blinds are closed
C#mA
To keep from seeing things she don't wanna know
B
She pulls the blinds and looks out on the street
AB
Where the cool of the night takes the edge off the street
EC#m
In the Jackson Cage
G#mA
Down in the Jackson Cage
EBA
You can try with all your might
EBA
But you're reminded every night
C#mA
That you've been judged and handed life
B E | B | C#m
Down in the Jackson Cage
AE
Every day ends in wasted motion
F#mAC#m
Just crossed swords on the killing floor
F#mE
To settle back is to settle without knowing
F#mA
The hard edge that you're settling for
B
Because there's always just one more day
C#mA
And it's always gonna be that way
B
Little girl you've been down here so long
AB
I can tell by the way that you move you belong to
EC#m
The Jackson Cage
G#mA
Down in Jackson Cage
EB
And it don't matter just what you say
AEB
Are you tough enough to play the game they play
AC#mA
Or will you just do your time and fade away
BE
Down into the Jackson Cage
(Harp solo) | C#m | C#m | E | E | C#m | C#m | E B | A | A | C#m
AE
Baby there's nights when I dream of a better world
F#mAC#m
But I wake so downhearted girl
F#m
I see you feeling so tired and confused
EF#mA
I wonder what it's worth to me or you
B
Just waiting to see some sun
C#mA
Never knowing if that day will ever come
B
Left alone standing out on the street
AB
Till you become the hand that turns the key down in
EC#m
Jackson Cage
G#mA
Down in Jackson Cage
EB
Well darling can you understand
AEB
The way that they will turn a man
AC#mA
Into a stranger to waste away
BAE
Down in the Jackson Cage
