Im Not A Cynic Chords & Lyrics - Alec Benjamin

[VERSE 1]
I'm just [Am7]being realistic, being honest with myself
I've tried [F]being optimistic but it doesn't seem to help
So I'll [Dm]just have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt
I'm not [F]being pessimistic, just being [E7]honest with myself

[CHORUS]
[Am7] I'm not a cynic, oh, today's just not my day
[F] I've tried to spin it 'bout a thousand different ways
Bu[Dm]t from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
I swear[F] that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today
[Am] Ooh, [F]Ooh, [Dm]Ooh I swear [F]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it

[VERSE 2]
You only [Am]get that what 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 [Dm]can't just change the weather by changing your point of view
Some [F]days you have to wait until the [E]storms have passed through

[CHORUS]
[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
Bu[Dm]t from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
I swear[F] that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today
[Am] Ooh,[F] Ooh[Dm] , Ooh

[VERSE 3]
So like a boat on the oc[Am]ean, I'll rock with the waves
God, I'm so sick of this notion[F] that I have to fake
Fake my emoti[Dm]on and pretend I'm okay
So like a boat on the ocean[F] , I'll just rock with the waves[E]

[CHORUS]
[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
Bu[Dm]t from every angle oh, the outlook is the same
I swear [F]that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it today
[Am] Ooh,[F] Ooh,[Dm] Ooh I swear[F] that I'm not a cynic, my glass just [E]has no water in it
