C#m A E F#m A

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
           E             C#m
In the Jackson Cage
                   G#m             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

[Verse 2]
                              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

[Chorus]
        E                C#m
The Jackson Cage
               G#m         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

(Harp solo)
C#m C#m E E C#m C#m E B A A C#m

[Verse 3]
                                            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

[Chorus]
E                     C#m
Jackson Cage
               G#m            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

C#m A E F#m G#m B
