[Verse 1]
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 Dm
Some things I've done before I 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 Dm7
And turn away from any lack of love
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 Dm7

I know better than to be so proud
C
I won't drink in all this fame
F Dm7
I'll take more love than I'm allowed
[Pre-Chorus]
F C Dm
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
F C Dm
My history has brought me to this 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 F6
I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
Am C F6
I'll bust upon that door so let me in
Am C F
And the music chooses me to sing I 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
[Outro]
C F x3
