Capo on 1st fret
Am
I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself
F
I've tried being optimistic but it doesn't seemā??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
