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 Bm/F#
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]
