I'm Not A Cynic Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I'm just [Am]bein' realistic,
bein' honest with myself
I've tried [F]bein' optimistic
but it doesn't seem to help
So I'll [G]just have to admit this is
the hand that I've been dealt
I'm not [Dm]bein' pessimistic,
just bein' [E]honest with myself

[Chorus 1]
[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
[G]But from every angle, oh,
the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm]that I'm not a cynic,
my glass just [E]has no water in it today

[Interlude 1]
[Am]Ooh, [F]ooh, [C]ooh
I swear [E]that I'm not a cynic,
my glass just has no water in it

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

[Chorus 2]
[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
[G]But from every angle, oh,
the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm]that I'm not a cynic,
my glass just [E]has no water in it today

[Interlude 2]
[Am]Ooh, [F]ooh, [C]ooh, [E]ooh

[Bridge 1]
So like a boat on the [Am]ocean,
I'll rock with the waves
God, I'm so sick of this [F]no tion
that I have to fake
Fake my e[C]mo tions and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the [E]o cean,

[Chorus 3]
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
[G]But from every angle, oh,
the outlook is the same
I swear [Dm]that I'm not a cynic,
my glass just [E]has no water in it today

[Outro 1]
[Am]Oooh, [F]ooh, [C]ooh
I swear [E]that I'm not a cynic,
my glass just has no water in it today
