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

             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

Down in the Jackson Cage

                   A           E
Every day ends in wasted motion
                           F#m     
Just crossed swords on the killing 
  A   C#m
floor
                     F#m           
To settle back is to settle without
        E
 knowing
                          F#m      
The hard edge that you're settling 
 A
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

And it don't matter just what you 
say
     A                        E
Are you tough enough to play the 
         B
game they play
           A                  C#m 
Or will you just do your time and 
      A
fade away

                           A       
Baby there's nights when I dream of
              E
 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   
I wonder what it's worth to me or 
 A
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

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
