Am  Dm  E  Am

Am                    Dm  
Baby, do you understand me now?  
E                          Am  
Sometimes I feel a little mad.  
Am                       Dm  
But don't you know that no one alive  
E                          Am  
Can always be an angel?  
Am                    Dm  
When things go wrong, I seem to be bad.  
E                       Am  
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.  
Am                  Dm  
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.  

Am                    Dm  
You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree,  
E                         Am  
With a joy that's hard to hide.  
Am                           Dm  
But then, sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry,  
E                         Am  
And you're bound to see my other side.  
Am                    Dm  
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.  
E                  Am  
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.  

Am                     Dm  
If I seem edgy, I want you to know,  
E                          Am  
I never mean to take it out on you.  
Am                       Dm  
Life has its problems and I get my share,  
E                       Am  
And that's one thing I never mean to do.  
Am                    Dm  
'Cause I love you,  
E                       Am  
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.  

Am                    Dm  
Don't let me be misunderstood.  
E                       Am  
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
