I'm Not a Cynic

         Am
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                             E
I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself

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

         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

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

                        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

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
