I Know Better

C They say sing what you know F Dm7 But I've sung what they want C Some folks do what they're told F Dm7 But baby this time I won't F C Will look through that door Dm I know the truth from lie F C Dm Some things I've done before I can't justify [Pre-Chorus] C There are kings in my past F6 Dm7 Things no one can be proud of C But I stand in the light I've cast F6 Dm7 And turn away from any lack of love F C Oh, when I walked through that door Dm I say here I go F C You see me and nothing more Dm I'm singing what I know [Chorus] C F I know better C F I know better [Verse 2] C Legend is just a name F Dm7 I know better than to be so proud C I won't drink in all this fame F Dm7 I'll take more love than I'm allowed [Pre-Chorus] F C Dm I won't hide or cut it off from where it came F C Dm My history has brought me to this place F C Dm This power and the color of my face [Chorus] C F And I know better C F I know better [Bridge] Am C F6 I'll rise from the floor if I don't win Am C F6 I'll bust upon that door so let me in Am C F And the music chooses me to sing I let her Dm F I'll sing what I know, yes [Chorus] C F I know better, oh C F I know better, yes C F I know better C F I know better [Outro] C F x3 C
