F
They say sing what you know
A#Gm7
But I've sung what they want
F
Some folks do what they're told
A#Gm7
But baby this time I won't
A#F
Will look through that door
Gm
I know the truth from lie
A#FGm
Some things I've done before I can't justify
[Pre-Chorus]F
There are kings in my past
A#6Gm7
Things no one can be proud of
F
But I stand in the light I've cast
A#6Gm7
And turn away from any lack of love
A#F
Oh, when I walked through that door
Gm
I say here I go
A#F
You see me and nothing more
Gm
I'm singing what I know
[Chorus]FA#
I know better
FA#
I know better
[Verse 2]F
Legend is just a name
A#Gm7
I know better than to be so proud
F
I won't drink in all this fame
A#Gm7
I'll take more love than I'm allowed
[Pre-Chorus]A#FGm
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
A#FGm
My history has brought me to this place
A#FGm
This power and the color of my face
[Chorus]FA#
And I know better
FA#
I know better
[Bridge]DmFA#6
I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
DmFA#6
I'll bust upon that door so let me in
DmFA#
And the music chooses me to sing I let her
GmA#
I'll sing what I know, yes
[Chorus]FA#
I know better, oh
FA#
I know better, yes
FA#
I know better
FA#
I know better
[Outro]FA# x3
