[Verse]
Bm               A 
  Baby, you understand me now 
G                              F# 
  If sometimes you see that I'm mad 
Bm 
  Don't you know no one alive 
      A* 
Can always be an angel? 
G*                                F# 
  When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
[Chorus]
    D                       Bm 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A* G*                                        Bm    Em 
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Verse]
Bm                               A 
  You 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
[Chorus]
    D                       Bm 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A* G*                                        Bm    A 
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Bridge]
G          A       G           A 
 If I seem edgy, I want you to know 
  G             A           D   Bm 
I never mean to take it out on you 
G            A         G              A 
Life has its problems, and I get more than my share 
    G                                F# 
But that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you
[Verse]
Bm         A 
  Oh, oh baby, I'm just human 
G                                F# 
  Don't you know I have faults like anyone? 
Bm                            A* 
  Sometimes I find myself alone, regretting 
                    G*                 F# 
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing that I've done
[Chorus]
       D                     Bm 
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A* G*                                     Bm        Em 
      Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Outro]
(Em)         Bm 
Don't let me be misunderstood 
Em                       Bm 
I try so hard, so please don't let me be misunderstood 
Em
