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