Bruce Springsteen - 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

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

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

Chorus:
The Jackson Cage
Down in Jackson Cage
And it don't matter just what you say
Are you tough enough to play the game they play?
Or will you just do your time and fade away?
Down into the Jackson Cage
Let's go!

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

Chorus:
Jackson Cage
Down in Jackson Cage
Well darling, can you understand
The way that they will turn a man
Into a stranger to waste away
Down in the Jackson Cage
