Jackson Cage(Chords)

	        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
