I Know Better (CHORDS) by John Legend

[Verse 1]~
                ~C
They say sing what you know

             ~F            ~Dm7
But I sang 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 won't lie

       ~F                 ~C           ~Dm
Some things I've done before I can't justify

               ~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 casted

                    ~F6         ~Dm7
Turn away from any lack of love


[Pre-Chorus]~
           ~F                   ~C
Oh, and 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 dream in all this fame

                         ~F           ~Dm7
I'll take more love than I'm allowed


[Pre-Chorus]~
         ~F             ~C                  ~Dm
I won't have to cut it off from where it came

    ~F            ~C                  ~Dm
My history has brought me to this place

      ~F           ~C           ~Dm
This is 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]~
