MISUNDERSTOOD
--------------
[Intro]
G D/F# Em
Should I? Could I?
D C
Have said the wrong things right a thousand times
C/B Am
If I could just rewind, I see it in my mind
If I could turn back time, you'd still be mine
[Verse 1]
G D/F# Em
You cried, I died
D C
I should have shut my mouth, things headed south
C/B Am
As the words slipped off my tongue, they sounded dumb
If this old heart could talk, it'd say you're the one
[Bridge]
Am C
I'm wasting time when I think about it
[Chorus]
Em C G
I should have drove all night,
D/F#
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
Em C G
I stumbled like my words,
D
Did the best I could
C Am
Damn, misunderstood
[Verse 2]
G D/F# Em
Could I? Should I?
D C
Apologize for sleeping on the couch that night
C/B Am
Staying out too late with all my friends
You found me passed out in the yard again
G D/F# Em
You cried, I tried
D
To stretch the truth, but didn't lie
[Bridge]
Am C
It's not so bad when you think about it
[Chorus]
Em C G
I should have drove all night,
D/F#
I would have run all the lights
I was misunderstood
Em C G
I stumbled like my words,
D
Did the best I could
Em C G
I 'm hanging outside your door
D/F#
I've been here before
Em
Misunderstood
C G D
I stumbled like my words, did the best I could
C Am
Damn, misunderstood
C
Intentions good
[Guitar Solo]
