I Know Better

                C
They say sing what you know
                F            Dm7
But I've sung what they want
                C
Some folks do what they're told
               F           Dm7
But baby this time I won't
      F                  C
Will look through that door
             Dm
I know the truth from lie
       F                 C        
Some things I've done before I 
   Dm
can't justify

[Pre-Chorus]
               C
There are kings in my past
                  F6          Dm7
Things no one can be proud of
                    C
But I stand in the light I've cast
                        F6         
And turn away from any lack of love
Dm7

            F                   C
Oh, when I walked through that door
       Dm
I say here I go
         F              C
You see me and nothing more

              Dm
I'm singing what I know

[Chorus]
      C       F
I know better
      C       F
I know better

[Verse 2]
           C
Legend is just a name
                       F           
I know better than to be so proud
Dm7

                 C
I won't drink in all this fame
                         F         
I'll take more love than I'm 
  Dm7
allowed

[Pre-Chorus]
         F             C      
I won't hide or cut it off from 
            Dm
where it came
    F            C                
My history has brought me to this 
  Dm
place
      F             C           Dm
This power and the color of my face

[Chorus]
          C       F
And I know better
      C       F
I know better

[Bridge]
      Am              C           
I'll rise from the floor if I 
   F6
don't win
      Am             C             
I'll bust upon that door so let me 
F6
in
         Am            C          
And the music chooses me to sing I
  F
 let her
            Dm          F
I'll sing what I know, yes

[Chorus]
      C       F
I know better, oh
      C       F
I know better, yes
      C       F
I know better
      C       F
I know better
