Start Jamming...
[N] [Bm]
Baby, you understand me [A] now
[G] If sometimes [F#] you see that I'm mad
[Bm] Don't you know no one alive can [A] always be an angel
[G] When everything goes wrong you [F#] see some bad
[D] But I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions are [F#m]
good
[C] Oh Lord, [E] please don't let me be [F#m] [Bm]
misunderstood
[Em]
[Bm] You know sometimes, baby, [A] I'm so carefree
[G]
With a joy that's [F#] hard to hide
[Bm] And then sometimes again it seems that [A] all I have is a worry
[G] And then you're bound to see [F#] my other side
[D] But I'm just a soul [G] whose intentions are [F#] good
[C] Oh Lord, please [E] don't let [D] me be [Bm] misunderstood
[A] [G] You know I [A] seem edgy, I [G] want [A] you to know
[G] I never [A] mean to take it [D] out on [Bm] you
[A] [G] Life has its problems [A]
[G] and I get [E] more than my [G] share
But that's one thing I never mean [F#] to do
Cause I love you
[Bm] Oh [A] baby, I'm just human
[G]
Don't you know I have thoughts [F#] like anyone
[Bm]
Sometimes I find myself [A] alone regretting some little [G] foolish thing
Some [F#] simple thing that I have done
[D] Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions [B] are [F#] good
[C] Oh Lord, [E] please don't let me be [F#]
[Bm] misunderstood
[Em] Don't [B] let me be [Bm] misunderstood
[E]
I try so [Em] hard, so [Bm] please don't let me be misunderstood
