INTRO (x2)
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
VERSE 1
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Em F#m7 G5 Am7
Said I don't mind, what do you mean, I am the one
Em F#m7 G5
Who will dance on the floor in the round
F#m7 Am7 Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
VERSE 2
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7 Am7
Every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
Who will dance on the floor in the round
BRIDGE 1
C/G Em
And people always told me be careful of what you do
C/G Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
C/G Em
And mother always told me be careful who you love
C/G B7
Careful what you do when the lie becomes the truth
CHORUS
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
Billie Jean is not my lover
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7 Am7
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
Em F#m7 G5
But the kid is not my son
F#m7 Am7 Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
VERSE 3
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
For forty days and for forty nights Law was on her side
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7 Am7
but who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and her plans
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
Am7 Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
So take my strong advice, oh just remember to always think twice
BRIDGE 2
C/G Em
People always told me be careful of what you do
C/G Em
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
C/G Em
She came and stood right by me, then the smell of sweet perfume
C/G B7
This happened much too soon, then she called me to her room
CHORUS
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
Billie Jean is not my lover
Em F#m7 G5 F#m7 Am7
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
Em F#m7 G5
But the kid is not my son
F#m7 Am7 Em F#m7 G5 F#m7
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
