Verse 1:       B5                 A5
      Baby, do you understand me now
      G5                           F#5
        Sometimes I feel a little mad
            B5                                   A5 
      Well don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
      G5                                   F#5
        When things go wrong I seem to be bad

Chorus:
      D5                      B5                  A5
      I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
      G5           [N/C/]                     B5
      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:
      B5    A5  [first 3 beats as per intro]      / / / /

      G5            A5       G5           A5
        If I seem edgy, I want you to know
       G5            A5               D5     B5
      That I never mean to take it out on you
      G5                 A5             G5       A5
        Life has it's problems and I get my share
           G5                        F#5
      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]
