Em                  D
Baby, do you understand me now
C                           B
 Sometimes I feel a little mad
Em
  But don't you know that no one alive
    D
Can always be an angel

C                           B         B*
 When things go wrong I seem to be bad
    G                        Em
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
D C                                      Em
    Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Em   Am   Em   Am

Em                   D
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
C                           B
 With a joy that's hard to hide
     Em                     D
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry

C                             B*
 And then I show my other side
    G                       Em
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
D  C                                           Em
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

C          D       C           D
 If I seem edgy I want you to know
C*                            B*         S-f*
that I never mean to take it out on you

C              D            C        D
Life has its problems and I get my share
C*                            B*         S-f*
and that's one thing I never mean to do, cause I love you

Have thoughts like any other one

Sometimes I find myself long regretting
C                                         B
 Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
