Version 1 Version 2

            [Verse 1]
          A7
I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself
           Dm7
I've tried being optimistic, but it doesn't seem to help
         G
So, I'll just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt
         Em                             Am
I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself


[Chorus]
A7
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
Dm7
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
   G
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
         Em                                 Am                    A7
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today


[Post-Chorus]
A7  Dm7
Ooh Oooooh
G         Em                                 Am
 I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it


[Verse 2]
         A7
You only get that what you're given, it's not always up to you
           Dm7
Not every Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue
     G
You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
     Em                               Am
Some days you have to wait until the storm just passes through


[Chorus]
A7
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
Dm7
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
   G
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
         Em                                 Am                    A7
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today


[Post-Chorus]
A7  Dm7    G    Em
Ooh Oooooh Oooooooh


[Bridge]
          A7
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll rock with the waves
           Dm7
God, I'm so sick of this notion that I have to fake
G
Fake my emotion and pretend I'm okay
          Em                             Am
So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves


[Chorus]
A7
I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
Dm7
I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
   G
But from every angle, oh, the outlook is the same
         Em                                 Am                    A7
I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today


[Post-Chorus]
A7   Dm7
Ooh Oooooh
G         Em                                  Am                   A7
 I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today
