Verse 1:
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m]
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m] [Bm]
I said don`t mind but what do you mean,I am the one
[F#m]
Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Bm] [F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m]
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round?
Verse 2:
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m]
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene.
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m] [Bm]
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one,
[F#m]
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Pre-Chorus 1:
[D] [F#m]
People always told me, be careful what you do.
[D] [F#m]
And don`t go around breaking young girls' hearts
[D] [F#m]
And mother always told me, be careful who you love,
[D] [C#7]
And be careful what you do, `cause the lie becomes the truth, hey hey
Chorus 1:
[F#m]
Billie Jean is not my lover,
[Bm]
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
[Bm]
She says I am the one,
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
Verse 3:
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m]
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m] [Bm]
But who can stand when she`s in demand, her schemes and plans
[F#m]
Cause we danced on the floor in the round.
[Bm] [F#m]
So take my strong advice: Just remember to always think twice
Verse 4:
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m]
She told my baby we danced till three, and she looked at me,
[F#m] [G#m] [A] [G#m] [Bm]
Then showed a photo. My baby cried, his eyes were like mine.
[F#m]
Can we dance on the floor in the round?
Pre-Chorus 2:
[D] [F#m]
People always told me, be careful what you do.
[D] [F#m]
And don`t go around breaking young girls' hearts
[D] [F#m]
But you came and stood right by me, just a smell of sweet perfume.,
[D] [C#7]
This happened much too soon. She called me to her room, hey
Chorus 2:
[F#m]
Billie Jean is not my lover,
[Bm]
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
[Bm]
She says I am the one,
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
(interlude, guitar solo)
Chorus 3:
Chorus 1:
[F#m]
Billie Jean is not my lover,
[Bm]
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
[Bm]
She says I am the one,
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
