D They say sing what you know G Em7 But I've sung what they want D Some folks do what they're told G Em7 But baby this time I won't G D Will look through that door Em I know the truth from lie G D Em Some things I've done before I can't justify [Pre-Chorus] D There are kings in my past G6 Em7 Things no one can be proud of D But I stand in the light I've cast G6 Em7 And turn away from any lack of love G D Oh, when I walked through that door Em I say here I go G D You see me and nothing more Em I'm singing what I know [Chorus] D G I know better D G I know better [Verse 2] D Legend is just a name G Em7 I know better than to be so proud D I won't drink in all this fame G Em7 I'll take more love than I'm allowed [Pre-Chorus] G D Em I won't hide or cut it off from where it came G D Em My history has brought me to this place G D Em This power and the color of my face [Chorus] D G And I know better D G I know better [Bridge] Bm D G6 I'll rise from the floor if I don't win Bm D G6 I'll bust upon that door so let me in Bm D G And the music chooses me to sing I let her Em G I'll sing what I know, yes [Chorus] D G I know better, oh D G I know better, yes D G I know better D G I know better [Outro] D G x3 D
