Alec Benjamin - Im not a cynic

I'm just^Bbm bein' realistic, bein' honest with myself I've tri^Bbmed bein' optimistic but it doesn't seem to help So I'll ^Abjust have to admit this is the hand that I've been dealt I'm not ^Ebmbein' pessimistic, ju^Abst bein' honest with myself

^Bbm I'm not a cynic, oh,^Bbm today's just not my day ^Bbm I've tried to spin it '^Bbmbout a thousand different ways ^Ab But from every angle,^Ab oh, the outlook is the same I swear ^Ebmthat I'm not a cynic, my^Ab glass just has no ^Bbmwater in it today

I swear ^Ebmthat I'm not a cynic, my g^Ablass just has no water in it

You only ^Bbmget that which you're given, it's not always up to you Not every^Bbm Sunday is a picnic 'cause the sky ain't always blue You ^Abcan't just change the weather by changing your point of view Some ^Ebmdays you have to wait until the storm just passes through
