Jamie Cullum feat Gregory Porter - Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood

(originally by Nina Simone)

[Verse 1: Gregory Porter]
Am G
Baby, do you understand me now?
Eb F6 C E7
Sometimes you see that I’m mad
Am G
Don’t you know that no one can always be an angel
F6 E7
When everything goes wrong you see some bad

[Chorus: Gregory Porter]
C C(#5) F7 Bb13(#11)
But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
E7(#9)
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

Understand me, understand me

[Verse 2: Jamie Cullum]
Am G
Baby, sometimes I’m so carefree
Eb F6 C E7
With a joy that’s hard to hide
Am G
And sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry
F6 E7
Then you’re bound to see my other side

[Chorus: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
C C(#5) F Bb13(#11)
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
E7
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

[Verse 3: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
Am G F E
If I seem edgy I want you to know (want you to know)
Am G E7
That I never mean to take it out on you
Am G F E
Life has it’s problems and I’ve got my share
Am G E7
And that’s one thing I never meant to do oh oh
Am G
Now baby I’m only human
Eb F6 C E7
I’ve got faults like anyone
Am G
Sometimes I find myself alone regretting
F6 E7
Some little foolish thing, some simple thing I’ve done

[Chorus: Gregory Porter & Jamie Cullum]
C C(#5) F Bb13(#11)
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
E7
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

Understand me, understand me

Understand me

I’m just a soul whose intentions are good

Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
