Chord I Know Better - John Legend

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
