A#m7 I'm just being realistic, being honest with myself F# I've tried being optimistic but it doesn't seem to help D#m So I'll just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt F# F7 I'm not being pessimistic, just being honest with myself
[Chorus]
A#m7 I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day F# I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways D#m But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same F# F I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today A#m F# D#m F# F I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it
[Verse 2]
A#m 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 D#m You can't just change the weather by changing your point of view F# F Some days you have to wait until the storms have passed through
[Chorus]
A#m I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day F# I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways D#m But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same F# F I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today A#m F# D#m Uh, uh, uh F# F7 I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it
[Verse 3]
A#m 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 D#m Fake my emotion and pretend I'm okay F# F So like a boat on the ocean, I'll just rock with the waves
[Chorus]
A#m I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day F# I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways D#m But from every angle oh, the outlook is the same F# F I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it today A#m7 F# D#m Uh, uh, uh F# F7 I swear that I'm not a cynic, my glass just has no water in it
