C# minorC#m           A augmentedA       E MajorE
Driving home she grabs something to eat
          F# minorF#m     A augmentedA    C# minorC#m
Turns a corner and drives down her street
            F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Into a row of houses she just melts away
           F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Like a scenery in another man's play
            BB
Into a house where the blinds are closed
  C# minorC#m                A augmentedA
To keep from seeing things she don't wanna know
                BB
She pulls the blinds and looks out on the street
      A augmentedA              BB
Where the cool of the night takes the edge off the street

    E MajorE     C# minorC#m
In the Jackson Cage
      G# minorG#m     A augmentedA
Down in the Jackson Cage
       E MajorE     BB   A augmentedA
You can try with all your might
        E MajorE   BB   A augmentedA
But you're reminded every night
            C# minorC#m   A augmentedA
That you've been judged and handed life
 BB          E MajorE | BB | C# minorC#m
Down in the Jackson Cage

          A augmentedA      E MajorE
Every day ends in wasted motion
              F# minorF#m    A augmentedA  C# minorC#m
Just crossed swords on the killing floor
           F# minorF#m          E MajorE
To settle back is to settle without knowing
             F# minorF#m    A augmentedA
The hard edge that you're settling for
               BB
Because there's always just one more day
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
And it's always gonna be that way
             BB
Little girl you've been down here so long
    A augmentedA            BB
I can tell by the way that you move you belong to

   E MajorE     C# minorC#m
The Jackson Cage
     G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
Down in Jackson Cage
           E MajorE     BB
And it don't matter just what you say
   A augmentedA            E MajorE     BB
Are you tough enough to play the game they play
      A augmentedA         C# minorC#m    A augmentedA
Or will you just do your time and fade away
 BB           E MajorE
Down into the Jackson Cage

              A augmentedA           E MajorE
Baby there's nights when I dream of a better world
        F# minorF#m     A augmentedA C# minorC#m
But I wake so downhearted girl
           F# minorF#m
I see you feeling so tired and confused
E MajorE              F# minorF#m  A augmentedA
I wonder what it's worth to me or you
         BB
Just waiting to see some sun
C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
Never knowing if that day will ever come
           BB
Left alone standing out on the street
      A augmentedA         BB
Till you become the hand that turns the key down in

 E MajorE     C# minorC#m
Jackson Cage
     G# minorG#m    A augmentedA
Down in Jackson Cage
         E MajorE   BB
Well darling can you understand
 A augmentedA         E MajorE    BB
The way that they will turn a man
  A augmentedA       C# minorC#m   A augmentedA
Into a stranger to waste away
 BB          A augmentedA E MajorE
Down in the Jackson Cage
