Misunderstood-Vocal Few 
CAPO 4
GIt is harder than you know
To draw water from a stone
I’ve been trying for yEmearsC  
Still there’s nobody hGome
GYou pick my brain like I got something
Good to say about why we’re here
It’ll be yEmears bCefore I can answGer
CHORUS
Remember that CI
I never cDlaimed to know the anEmswersG  
I’Cve just been seaDrching for the goGod
BecaCuse at my bDest I’m a filthy siEmnnerG  
CAnd at my woDrst I’m misunderGstood
VERSE
It is harder than you know
To keep shouldering false hope
I cant carry your fears,
I’m not the one you should ask here
You pick my brain like I got something
Good to say about “what’s it mean to exist?”
But I can’t say anything
because I’m not existing yet
CHORUS
I never claimed to have the answers
I’ve just been searching for the good
Because at my best I’m a filthy sinner
And at my worst I’m misunderstood
CHORUS
CI never clDaimed to have the anEmswersG  
CI have been seaDrching for the gGood
Cbecause at my bDest I’m a wayward EmsinniDng foCol
So dCon’t misundersDtand me telling Emyou
To nCot misundDerstand misunderGstood
