     Am                            G                  - F                                         E

1. Baby, do you understand me now,      sometimes I get a little mad,

Am                                                    - G

    don’t you know, no one alive can         always be an angel,

F                                                                   E

    when things go wrong, you’re bound to see some bad.

            C                                 Am

    But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good,

Bb  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    Am

    oh, Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.

 

+  Am - G - Am - G

2. You know sometimes    I’m so carefree,    with a joy that’s hard to hide,

Am                                                 - G

    then sometimes again it seems        all I have is worry,

F                                                  E

    then you’re bound to see my other side.

            C                                 Am

    But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good,

Bb  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   Am

    oh, Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood.

 

F                  G     - F                           G

    If I seem edgy,       I want you to know,

F                 G                   C        Am

    I didn’t mean to take it out on you,

F                      G          - F                       G

    life has its problems,      I’ve got my share,

F                           G                   C                   E     - - - - - - - - - -

    but that’s one thing I didn’t mean to do, oh no, cause I love you.
