Intro: Am - Dm - Am - Dm 

Verse: 
 Am              G          
Baby, you understand me now? 
F                         E 
 If sometimes you see that I'm mad 
Am                              G  
don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel? 
F                                 E 
 When everything goes wrong, you see some bad.

    C                        F 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, 
Dm                           E             Am - Dm 
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. 

verse 2: 
    Am                         G 
You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree, 
F                  E 
with a joy that's hard to hide. 
Am                             G                        F 
And then sometimes, again, it seems that all I have is worry, 
                               E 
and then you're bound to see my other side.

    C                        F 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, 
Dm                           E             Am 
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. 

verse 3: 
F         G       F            G 
If I seem edgy I want you to know 
   F          G              C       Am 
I never meant to take it out on all you. 
 F             G          F                    G 
Life has its problems and I get more than my share, 
      F                              E 
but that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you. 

Bridge:  
Am   G                  F     
 Oh baby, I'm just human, 
                            E 
Don't you know I have faults like anyone? 
Am                        G 
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting 
                      F                  E 
some little foolish thing, some simple thing that I've done.

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, 
Dm                           E             Am - Dm 
oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. 

Outro: 
                      Am                    Dm 
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood 
                      Am                    Dm  - Am 
I try so hard, don't let me be misunderstood
