(F)If sometimes you see that I'm mad,

(Am)don't you know, no one alive can (G)always be an angel?

(F)When ev'rything goes wrong, you see some bad.

But (C)I'm just a soul whose (F)intentions are good.

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

(Am)You know sometimes, baby, I'm so carefree

(F)with a joy that's (E)hard to hide.

(F)If I seem (G)edgy, I (F)want you to (G)know I (F)never meant (G)to take it out (C)on you.

(F)Life has its (G)problems and (F)I get more than (G)my share.

But (F)that's one thing I never mean to (E)do 'cause I love you.

(Am)Oh, (G)baby, I'm just human (F)but you know I have faults (E)like anyone.

(Am)Sometimes I find myself (G)alone regretting some little foolish (F)thing,

yeah, some simple thing that I've done.

'Cause (C)I'm just a fool whose (F)intentions are good.

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