Verse 1L
G
They say sing what you know
F Cm7
But I've sung what they want
G
Some folks Do what they're told
F Cm7
But baby this time I won't
F G
Will look through that door
Cm
I know the truth from lie
F G Cm
Some things I've done before I can't justify
Pre-Chorus:
G
There are kings in my past
F6 Cm7
Things no one can be proud of
G
But I stand in the light I've cast
F6 Cm7
And turn away from any lack of love
F G
Oh, when I walked through that door
Cm
I say here I go
F G
You see me and nothing more
Cm
I'm singing what I know
Chorus:
G F
I know better
G F
I know better
Verse 2:
G
Legend is just a name
F Cm7
I know better than to be so proud
G
I won't drink in all this fame
F Cm7
I'll take more love than I'm allowed
Pre-Chorus:
F G Cm
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
F G Cm
My history has brought me to this place
F G Cm
This power and the color of my face
Chorus:
G F
And I know better
G F
I know better
Bridge:
Gm G F6
I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
Gm G F6
I'll bust upon that door so let me in
Gm G F
And the music chooses me to sing I let her
Cm F
I'll sing what I know, yes
Chorus:
G F
I know better, oh
G F
I know better, yes
G F
I know better
G F
I know better
