Intro: Am C (x2)

Am                G
Baby, do you understand me now?
F                            E
Sometimes I seem a little mad
Am                              G
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
F                           E
When things go wrong you're bound to see some bad

(Chorus)
C                      Am                F
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
                                               Am      
Oh Lord, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
              C           Am                C
I've tried so hard not to be misunderstood

Baby, whoa=ho I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
There's a time when it seems all I have is worry
If you're about you're bound to see my other side

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good,
Oh Lord, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
I've tried so hard not to be misunderstood

(Bridge)
I've tried so hard
F          G
When I got edgy
F             G    F            G                E
I want you to know that I never meant to take it out on you
F             G               F                  G
Life has it's problems, Lord, I get more than my share
F                  G              E
That's one thing I never meant to do

Baby, I'm just human
I've got my faults like anyone
Sometimes I find myself alone at night
Regretting some foolish thing, some stupid thing I've done

(Outro)
C                      Am                F
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Oh Lord, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
                                                 Am
Oh Lord, oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
              C
I've tried so hard...
