I Know Better

C
they say sing what you know
F – F6
but i’ve sung what they want
C
some folks do what they’re told
F – F6
but baby this time i won’t

F C/E
will look through that door
Dm
i know the truth won’t lie
– Dm – Em F C/E
some things i’ve done before
Dm
i can’t justify

C
there are kings in my past
F – F6
things no one can be proud of
C
but i stand in the light i’ve casted
F – F6
and turn away from any lack of love

F C
oh , and i walked through that door
Dm
i say here i go
– Dm – Em F C/E
you see me and nothing more
Dm
i’m singing what i know

C F
i know better
C F
i know better

C
legend is just a name
F – F6
i know better than to be so proud
C
i won’t drink in all this fame
F – F6
i’ll take more love than i’m allowed

F C/E
i won’t have to cut it off
Dm
from where it came
F C/E
my history has brought
Dm
me to this place
F C/E
this power and the color
Dm
of my face . .

C F
and i know better , oh hoo
C F
i know better , oh

Am C/G F
i’ll rise from the floor if i don’t win
Am C/G F
i’ll bust open that door so let me in
Am C/G F
and the music chooses me to sing i let her
Dm – C F
i’ll sing what i know , yes

C F
and i know better , oh
C F
i know better , yess
C F
i know better
C F
i know better
