I Know Better

	  		
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 
 
      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 

          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 

      C       F 
I know better, oh 
      C       F 
I know better, yes 
      C       F 
I know better 
      C       F 
I know better
