(intro 2x) F#m  E  D  C#7

(verso 1)
F#m                    E
 People, do you under-stand me now,
D                              C#7
 If sometimes, I feel a little mad?
F#m                               E
 Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel?
D                                      C#7
 When things go wrong, I seem a little sad.

(refrão 1)
    A                        F#m
But I'm just a soul whose in-tentions are good.
Bm        C#7                              F#m
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunder-stood.

(verso 2)
F#m                       E
 You know sometimes, I'm so carefree,
D                          C#7
 With a joy that's hard to hide.
F#m                          E
 Sometimes seems that all I have is worry,
D                                      C#7
 And then you're bound to see my other side.

(refrão 2)
    A                        F#m
But I'm just a soul whose in-tentions are good.
Bm        C#7                              F#m
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunder-stood.

(ponte 1)
D          E       D           E
 If I seem edgy, I want you to know;
D             E               F#m
 That I never mean to take it out on you.
D             E                   D            E
 Life has its problems, and I get more than my share,
    D                                C#7
But that's one thing I never mean to do; I don't mean it.

(verso 3)
F#m                          E
 People, don't you know I'm only human?
D                                      C#7
 Don't you know I have faults like any-one?
F#m                              E
 But sometimes, I find myself a-lone,
           D
Regretting some little thing,
             C#7
Some foolish thing that I have done.

(refrão 3)
    A                        F#m
But I'm just a soul whose in-tentions are good.
Bm        C#7                              F#m
 Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunder-stood.

C#m                        F#m
 Don't let me be misunder-stood;
C#m                         F#m
 I'm just someone whose in-tentions are good.
E                         D
 Don't let me be misunder-stood,
C#7                        F#m
 Don't let me be misunder-stood.
