Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
misunderstood by bon jovi from the album bounce

i cant claim all the credit for this i couldn't figure it out until my mate came over and picked it up the
time he heard it

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


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


Am C
I'm wasting time when I think about it


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


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


Am C
It's not so bad when you think about it


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
C
Intentions good
