Bm              A
Baby you understand me now
G                 F#
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Bm                            A
Doncha know no one alive can always be an angel?
G                                F#
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad


[Hook]
     D                        Bm
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
G                            F#
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood


[Verse 2]
Bm                         A
Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree
G                 F#
With a joy that's hard to hide
Bm                                      A
And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
G                        F#
And then you're bound to see my other side


[Hook]
     D                       Bm
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
G                            F#
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood


[Verse 3]
G          A
If I seem edgy
G              A
I want you to know
G         A              F#     D
I never mean to take it out on you
G               A
Life has its problems
G                        A
And I get more than my share
G                A            F#     D
But that's one thing I never mean to do

G             F#
Cause I love you
     Bm
Oh baby
          A
I'm just human
G                             F#
Don't you know I have faults like anyone?

Bm                      A
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
G
Some little foolish thing
     F#
Some simple thing that I've done


[Hook]
D                       Bm
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
G                            F#            Bm
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
G                F#
Don't let me be misunderstood

G
I try so hard
                                     Bm
So please don't let me be misunderstood
