Intro: Am  G  F  E  (x2)

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

Chorus:
C                       Am
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
F                                          Am
Oh Lord   please don't let me be misunderstood

Instrumental: Am  G  F  E  (x2)

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

Verse 2:
Am              G
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
F                              E
And I’ve got thoughts like any other one
Am                           G
And sometimes I feel myself alone regretting
F                        E
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

Chorus:
C                       Am
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good

Verse 3:
Am                  G
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
F                         E
With a joy that's hard to hide
    Am                            G
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
F                               E
And then you're bound to see my other side

Chorus:
C                       Am
I'm just a soul who's intentions are good

Oh Lord   please don't let me be misunderstood
