Verse 1
I'm just [Am]bein' realistic, bein' honest with myself
I've tried [F]bein' optimistic but it doesn't seem to help
So I'll [G]just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt
I'm not [Dm7]bein' pessimistic, just bein' [E]honest with myself
Chorus:
[Am]I'm not a cynic but today's just not my day
[F]I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But [G]from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm7]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today
[Am] [F] [C]
I swear [Esus4]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it
Verse 2:
You only [Am]get that which you're given, it's not always up to you
Not every [F]Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue
You [G]can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
Some [Dm7]days you have to wait until the [E]storm just passes through
Chorus:
[Am]I'm not a cynic but today's just not my day
[F]I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But [G]from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm7]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today
[Am] [F] [C] [Esus4] [E]
Bridge:
So like a boat on the [Am]ocean, I'll rock with the waves
God, I'm so sick of this [F]notion that I have to fake
Fake my [C]emotions and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the [Esus4]ocean, I'll just rock with the waves [E]
Chorus:
[Am]I'm not a cynic but today's just not my day
[F]I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But [G]from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm7]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today
[Am] [F] [C]
I swear [Esus4]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today [Am]
