[Intro]
Bm  Em  2x
[Verse]
Bm                A 
Baby, do you understand me now 
G                         F# 
Sometimes I feel a little mad 
Bm 
But don't you know that no one alive 
    A 
Can always be an angel 
G                      F# 
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
[Chorus]
    D                       Bm 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A  G                                         Bm 
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Instrumental]
Bm  Em  2x
[Verse]
Bm                  A 
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree 
G                 F# 
With a joy that's hard to hide 
Bm                          A 
And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry 
G                           F# 
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 G 
     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 
that I never mean to take it out on you 
G            A            G        A 
life has its problems and I get my share 
G                            F# 
and that's one thing I never mean to do, cause I love you
[Verse]
       Bm             A 
Oh, Oh baby don't you know I'm human 
G                  F# 
Have thoughts like any other one 
Bm                      A 
Sometimes I find myself long regretting 
G                              F# 
Some foolish thing some little simple thing I've done
[Chorus]
    D                       Bm 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A  G                                          Bm 
      Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
Bm   Em  

     D                       Bm 
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A  G                                         Bm 
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
Bm   Em  

     D                       Bm 
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
A  G                                         Bm 
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
Bm   Em
