Intro: Bm    Em 
 
         Bm                 A 
        Baby, do you understand me now 
        G                          F# 
        Sometimes I feel a little mad 
              Bm                                   A  
        Well don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel 
        G                                  F# 
        When things go wrong I seem to be bad 
 

        D                      Bm                  A 
        I'm just a soul who's intentions are good 
        G           {N.C.}                     Bm 
        Oh Lord   please don't let me be misunderstood 
 
 
**Repeat Intro (2x) 
 
         Bm                 A 
        Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree 
        G                          F# 
        With a joy that's hard to hide 
              Bm                                   A  
        And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry 
        G                                  F# 
        And then you're bound to see my other side 
 
**Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: Bm    A  {First 3 Beats As Per Intro} 
         
 
        G            A       G           A 
          If I seem edgy, I want you to know 
         G            A               D     Bm/F# 
        That I never mean to take it out on you 
        G                 A             G       A 
          Life has it's problems and I get my share 
             G                        F# 
        And that's one thing I never mean to do, 'cause I love you 
 
 
 
         Bm                       A 
        Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human  
        G                          F# 
        Have thoughts like any other one 
              Bm                          A  
        Sometimes I find myself long regretting 
        G                                  F# 
        Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done 
 
**Repeat Chorus Followed By Intro (1x) To Fade
