Chords
General description: Intro: Bm | Em Verse 1: Bm | A | G | F#7 Bm | A | G | F#7 Chorus: D | Bm | Em { the Em bar is actually 6 quarters, though this is a four quarters song } Verse 2: G A | G A | G A | D Bm { the G is played on 3 eighths, the A on G A | G A | G A | F#7 5 eighths } Bm: 7-9-9-7-7-7 Em: x-7-9-9-8-7 A: 5-7-7-6-5-5 G: 3-5-5-4-3-3 F#7: 2-4-2-3-5-2 D: x-5-7-7-7-5 [Intro] [Intro] [Verse 1] Baby can you understand me now Sometimes I feel a little mad Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel When things go wrong I seem to be mad [Chorus] I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord please don't let me be misunderstood [Intro] [Intro] [Verse 1] Baby sometimes I'm so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide When other times it seems that all I have to do is worry And then I know you're bound to see my other side [Chorus] [Intro] [Verse 2] If I get edgy I want you to know That I never mean to take it out on you Life has its problems and I get my share But that is one thing that I would never do 'cause I love you [Verse 1] Oh don't you know I'm human I got my faults just like anyone Sometimes I lie awake long regreting Some foolish thing, some sinful thing I've done [Chorus] [Intro] [Chorus] [Intro] [Chorus] [Intro] repeat (and fade...)
