Intro:  Am F Am E 

verse 1 
Am          G 
Baby do you understand me now 
F                             E 
If sometimes you see that I'm mad 
     Am                             G 
Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel? 
F                                       E 
When everything goes wrong you see some bad 
        C                     Am 
But oh, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
                             C     Am 
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 

verse 2 
                  Am       G 
Ya know sometimes baby I'm so carefree 
F                         E 
With a joy that's hard to hide 
     Am                            G 
Then sometimes again it seems that all I have is worry 
F                                     E 
And then you're bound to see my other side 
    C                     Am 
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
F        Am 
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Don'tcha know that no one alive can always be an angel? 
F                                       E
