Verse 1:

Bm A
Baby, do you understand me now
G F#
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Bm A
Well don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
G F#
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

Chorus:

D Bm A
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
G [N.C.] Bm
Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood

[repeat intro (2X)]

Verse 2:


Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

Bm A [first 3 beats as per intro]

G A G A
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
G A D B
That I never mean to take it out on you
G A G A
Life has it's problems and I get my share
G F#
And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

Verse 3:

Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself long regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

[repeat chorus followed by intro (1X) to fade]
