Verse
[F#m] (BASS LINE: |[F#] [C#] [E] [F#] [E] [C#] [B] [C#] |)
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
[Bm] (BASS LINE: | [B] [F#] [A] [B] [A] [F#] [E] [F#] |)
I said, "Dont mind but what do you mean I am the one
[F#m]
Who will dance on the floor in the round?"
[Bm] [F#m]
She said, "I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round"
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene
[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
[D] [F#m]
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
[D] [F#m]
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts"
[D] [F#m]
And mother always told me, "Be careful of who you love
[D] [C#7]
And be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth"
Chorus
[F#m]
Billie Jean is not my lover
[Bm]
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
[F#m]
But the kid is not my son
[Bm] [F#m]
She says I am the one but the kid is not my son
Verse
(Synths: | [C#] | - [D#] [B] | [C#] |)
[F#m]
For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
(Synths: [B] [A] [F#])
[Bm]
But who can stand when shes 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
Do think twice, do think twice
(Synths: | [C#] | - [D#] [B] | [C#] |)
[F#m]
She told my baby, we were dancing still three then she looked at me
(Synths: [B] [A] [F#])
[Bm]
Then showed a photo my baby cried cause his eyes were like mine, oh no
[F#m]
Though wed dance on the floor in the round, baby
Pre-Chorus
[D] [F#m]
People always told me, "Be careful of what you do
[D] [F#m]
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts"
[D] [F#m]
But she came and stood right by me then the smell of sweet perfume
[D] [C#7]
This happened much too soon; she called me to her room
