they say sing w[C]hat you know
but i’ve sung w[F]hat they want[F6]
some folks do wh[C]at they’re told
but baby this ti[F]me i won’t [F6]
will l[F]ook through that d[C/E]oor
i know the tr[Dm]uth won’t lie
[Dm]-[Em]some thi[F]ngs i’ve done b[C/E]efore
i can’t j[Dm]ustify
there are kings [C]in my past
things no one c[F]an be proud of [F6]
but i stand in the l[C]ight i’ve casted
and turn away from any la[F]ck of love[F6]
oh, and i w[F]alked through that d[C]oor
i say [Dm]here i go
[Dm]-[Em] you see[F] me and nothing [C/E]more
i’m singing w[Dm]hat i know
i k[C]now better [F]
i k[C]now better [F]
legend is ju[C]st a name
i know better than to b[F]e so prou[F6]d
i won’t drink in [C]all this fame
i’ll take more love than i[F]’m allowed[F6]
i won’t h[F]ave to cut it [C/E]off
from where it c[Dm]ame
my h[F]istory has bro[C/E]ught
me to this pla[Dm]ce
this [F]power and the [C/E]color
of my fa[Dm]ce..
and i kn[C]ow better, oh [F]hoo
i kn[C]ow better, [F]oh
i’ll [Am]rise from the f[C/G]loor if i don’t [F]win
i’ll [Am]bust open that [C/G]door so let me i[F]n
and t[Am]he music choose[C/G]s me to sing i l[F]et her
i’ll [Dm]sing what i [C]know, ye[F]s
and i kn[C]ow better, o[F]h
i kn[C]ow better, yes[F]s
i kn[C]ow better [F]
i kn[C]ow better [F]
