G They say sing what you know C Am7 But I've sung what they want G Some folks do what they're told C Am7 But baby this time I won't C G Will look through that door Am I know the truth from lie C G Am Some things I've done before I can't justify [Pre-Chorus] G There are kings in my past C6 Am7 Things no one can be proud of G But I stand in the light I've cast C6 Am7 And turn away from any lack of love C G Oh, when I walked through that door Am I say here I go C G You see me and nothing more Am I'm singing what I know [Chorus] G C I know better G C I know better [Verse 2] G Legend is just a name C Am7 I know better than to be so proud G I won't drink in all this fame C Am7 I'll take more love than I'm allowed [Pre-Chorus] C G Am I won't hide or cut it off from where it came C G Am My history has brought me to this place C G Am This power and the color of my face [Chorus] G C And I know better G C I know better [Bridge] Em G C6 I'll rise from the floor if I don't win Em G C6 I'll bust upon that door so let me in Em G C And the music chooses me to sing I let her Am C I'll sing what I know, yes [Chorus] G C I know better, oh G C I know better, yes G C I know better G C I know better [Outro] G C x3 G
