Am7
I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself

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
hand that I've been dealt
F E7
I'm not being pessimistic, just being
honest with myself
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
just has no water in it today
Am F Dm
F E
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass
just has no water in it
just has no water in it
Verse 2 :
Am
You only get that what you're given, it's not
always up to you
always up to you
F
Not every Sunday is a picnic, 'cause the sky
ain't always blue
ain't always blue
Dm
You can't just change the weather by changing
your point of view
your point of view
F E
Some days you have to wait until the storms
have passed through
have passed through

I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day

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

just has no water in it today
just has no water in it today

just has no water in it

So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves

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

Fake my emotion and pretend I'm okay
F
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock
E
with the waves
E
with the waves

Am
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
