[Bm] [F#]
[Bm] Baby, you [A] understand me now
[G] If sometimes you [F#] see that I'm mad
[Bm] Don't you know no one alive can [A] always be an angel
When [G]
everything goes wrong you [F#] see some bad
But [D]
I'm just a soul whose [G]
intentions are [Cm] [G] [Bm]
good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
[Em]
You [Bm] know sometimes, baby, [A] I'm so carefree
[G] With a joy that's [F#] hard to hide
[Bm] And then sometimes again it seems that [A] all I hurry
[G]
And then you're bound to see [F#] my other side
But [D] I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions are good
[Bm] Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If [A] [G]
I [A] seem edgy, [G] I want you [A] to know
[G] I never [A] mean to take it [D] out on [Bm] you
[A] [G] Life [A] has its problems [G] and I get [A] more than my share
[G] But that's one thing I never mean [F#] to do
Cause I love you
[Bm]
Oh [A] baby, I'm just human
[G]
Don't you know I have a pulse [F#] like anyone
[Bm]
Sometimes I find myself [A] alone regretting some little [G] foolish thing
Some [F#] simple thing that I have done
[D] But I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions are good
[F#]
Oh Lord, please don't let me be [Bm] misunderstood
[Em]
Don't let [Bm] me be misunderstood
[Em] I try so hard, so please [Bm] don't let me be misunderstood
[Em] [Bm]
