E They say sing what you know A F#m7 But I've sung what they want E Some folks do what they're told A F#m7 But baby this time I won't A E Will look through that door F#m I know the truth from lie A E F#m Some things I've done before I can't justify [Pre-Chorus] E There are kings in my past A6 F#m7 Things no one can be proud of E But I stand in the light I've cast A6 F#m7 And turn away from any lack of love A E Oh, when I walked through that door F#m I say here I go A E You see me and nothing more F#m I'm singing what I know [Chorus] E A I know better E A I know better [Verse 2] E Legend is just a name A F#m7 I know better than to be so proud E I won't drink in all this fame A F#m7 I'll take more love than I'm allowed [Pre-Chorus] A E F#m I won't hide or cut it off from where it came A E F#m My history has brought me to this place A E F#m This power and the color of my face [Chorus] E A And I know better E A I know better [Bridge] C#m E A6 I'll rise from the floor if I don't win C#m E A6 I'll bust upon that door so let me in C#m E A And the music chooses me to sing I let her F#m A I'll sing what I know, yes [Chorus] E A I know better, oh E A I know better, yes E A I know better E A I know better [Outro] E A x3 E
