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