🎶 I'm not a cynic

capo 1
===

Verse 1
I'm just [Bb]bein' realistic, bein' honest with myself
I've tried [Em]bein' optimistic but it doesn't seem to help
So I'll [Db]just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt
I'm not [Dm7]bein' pessimistic, just bein' [D]honest with myself

Chorus:
[Bb]I'm not a cynic but today's just not my day
[Em]I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But [Db]from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm7]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [D]has no water in it today
[Bb] [Em] [A#]
I swear [Esus4]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [D]has no water in it

Verse 2:
You only [Bb]get that which you're given, it's not always up to you
Not every [Em]Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue
You [Db]can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
Some [Dm7]days you have to wait until the [D]storm just passes through

Chorus:
[Bb]I'm not a cynic but today's just not my day
[Em]I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But [Db]from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm7]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [D]has no water in it today
[Bb] [Em] [A#] [Esus4] [D]

Bridge:
So like a boat on the [Bb]ocean, I'll rock with the waves
God, I'm so sick of this [Em]notion that I have to fake
Fake my [A#]emotions and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the [Esus4]ocean, I'll just rock with the waves [D]

Chorus:
[Bb]I'm not a cynic but today's just not my day
[Em]I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
But [Db]from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm7]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [D]has no water in it today
[Bb] [Em] [A#]
I swear [Esus4]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [D]has no water in it today [Bb]⠀
