Verse 1:
Bm               A
  Baby, you understand me now
G                              Gb
  If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Bm
  Don't you know no one alive
      A
Can always be an angel?
G                                 Gb
  When everything goes wrong, you see some bad

Chorus:
    D                       Bm
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
A  G                                         Bm    Em
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Verse 2:
Bm                               A
  You know sometimes baby, I'm so carefree
G                    Gb
With a joy that's hard to hide
Bm                                          A
 And then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry
G                                 Gb
 And then you're bound to see my other side

Chorus:
    D                       Bm
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
A  G                                         Bm    A
     Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Bridge:
G          A       G           A
 If I seem edgy, I want you to know
  G             A           D   Bm
I never mean to take it out on you
G            A         G              A
Life has its problems, and I get more than my share
    G                                Gb
But that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you

Verse 3:
Bm         A
  Oh, oh baby, I'm just human
G                                Gb
  Don't you know I have faults like anyone?
Bm                            A
  Sometimes I find myself alone, regretting
                    G                  Gb
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing that I've done

Chorus:
       D                     Bm
'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
A  G                                      Bm        Em
      Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Outro:
(Em)         Bm
Don't let me be misunderstood
Em                       Bm
I try so hard, so please don't let me be misunderstood
Em
