Verse 1:
I'm just [Bbm7]being realistic, being honest with myself
I've tried [Gb]being optimistic but it doesn't seem to help
So I'll [Ebm]just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt
I'm not [Gb]being pessimistic, just being h[F7]honest with myself
Chorus:
[Bbm7] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
[Gb] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
Bu[Ebm]But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
I swear[Gb]swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just h[F]has no water in it today
[Bbm] Ooh, o[Gb]oh, oo[Ebm]h I swear tha[Gb]t I'm not a cynic, my glass just has [F]no water in it

You only [Bbm]get that what you're given, it's not always up to you

You [Ebm]can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
Some [Gb]days you have to wait until the s[F]storms have passed through
Chorus:
[Bbm] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
[Gb] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
Bu[Ebm]But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same

[Bbm] Ooh, [Gb]ooh, [Ebm]ooh
Verse 3:
So like a boat on the oc[Bbm]ocean, I'll rock with the waves
God, I'm so sick of this notion[Gb]notion that I have to fake
Fake my emoti[Ebm]emotion and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the ocean[Gb]ocean, I'll just rock with the waves [F]
Chorus:
[Bbm] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
[Gb] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
Bu[Ebm]But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Gb]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just h[F]has no water in it today
[Bbm] Ooh, [Gb]ooh, o[Ebm]ooh I swear th[Gb]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has [F]no water in it today
