I'm Not A Cynic

[Verso 1]


         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 



[Refrão]

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 


[Verso 2]


         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 


[Verso 3]
 

                        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
