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

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

(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
