F - 13301x [Verse 1]
         Am7
I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself

           F
I've tried being optimistic but it doesn't seem to help

        Dm
So I'll just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt

        F                             E7
I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself
[Chorus]
Am7
  I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

F
  I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways

  Dm
But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same

       F                                    E
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today

Am     F    Dm          F                                   E
  Ooh, ooh, ooh I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it
[Verse 2]
         Am
You only get that what you're given, it's not always up to you

          F
Not every Sunday is a picnic, 'cause the sky ain't always blue

    Dm
You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view

     F                               E
Some days you have to wait until the storms have passed through
[Chorus]
Am
  I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

F
  I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways

  Dm
But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same

       F                                    E
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today

Am    F   Dm
  Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
                        Am
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves

                               F
God, I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake

             Dm
Fake my emotion and pretend I'm okay

                           F                              E
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves
[Chorus]
Am
  I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

F
  I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways

  Dm
But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same

        F                                   E
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today

Am    F    Dm          F                                    E
  Ooh, ooh, ooh I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
