Story Behind The Song

Marlon came up with these chords as an exercise for his fingers. Jim and Kev liked them so much it developed into a song. Kev had the briliant idea to use a B3 throughout. And the rest is history.

Song Description

Ok, we've all had bad things happen to us. As long as we're alive we can make better things happen in the wake of tragedies. All we have to do is look inside ourselves and find the brighter side of life.

Lyrics

So you found out yesterday
That the hammer's coming down
You're out of work and the bills pile up
And you feel you're going to drown
Pick it up and dust it off
'Cause that's the way it goes
Take a chance on your dreams
And come out smelling like a rose

Sometimes when the chips are down
And there's nowhere to go
Break a link in the chain
Take it down and let your mind flow
Sometimes when the chips are down
There's a brighter side to see
If you could only look inside
There's a better place to be

So you say that your oe true love
Walked out on you today
All alone and broken down
All your skies are turning gray
Now the sun is shining bright
You can see it in her eyes
Take a leap of faith and
Just give love another try

Sometimes when the chips are down
And there's nowhere to go
Break a link in the chain
Take it down and let your mind flow
Sometimes when the chips are down
There's a brighter side to see
If you could only look inside
There's a better place to be

Sometimes when the chips are down
And there's nowhere to go
Break a link in the chain
Take it down and let your mind flow
Sometimes when the chips are down
There's a brighter side to see
If you could only look inside
There's a better place to be

Sometimes when the chips are down
And there's no where to go
Break a link in the chain
Take it down and let your mind flow
Sometimes when the chips are down
There's a brighter side to see
If you could only look inside
There's a better place to be
