Verse 1:
         Bbm7
I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself
           Gb
I've tried being optimistic but it doesn't seem to help
        Ebm
So I'll just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt
        Gb                             F7
I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself
 
Chorus:
Bbm7
  I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
Gb
  I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
  Ebm
But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
       Gb                                    F
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
Bbm     Gb    Ebm          Gb                                   F
  Ooh, ooh, ooh I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it
 
Verse 2:
         Bbm
You only get that what you're given, it's not always up to you
          Gb
Not every Sunday is a picnic, 'cause the sky ain't always blue
    Ebm
You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
     Gb                               F
Some days you have to wait until the storms have passed through
 
Chorus:
Bbm
  I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
Gb
  I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
  Ebm
But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
       Gb                                    F
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
Bbm    Gb   Ebm
  Ooh, ooh, ooh
 
Verse 3:
                        Bbm
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves
                               Gb
God, I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake
             Ebm
Fake my emotion and pretend I'm okay
                           Gb                              F
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves
 
Chorus:

  Ebm
But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
        Gb                                   F
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
Bbm    Gb    Ebm          Gb                                    F
  Ooh, ooh, ooh I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
