[Intro]
(Top 4 strings picked slowly down then up)
Em Em Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em She was more like a beauty queen from a movie screen Am I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one Em Who will dance on the floor in the round Am Em 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
Am Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Em Who will dance on the floor in the round
[Bridge]
C Em People always told me be careful of what you do C Em Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts C Em And mama always told me be careful of who you love C B7 And be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth
[Chorus]
Em Am Em Gadd9/E Em Billie Jean is not my lover Am Em Am Bmadd11/A She's just a girl who says that I am the one Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son Am She says I am the one Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son
[Verse 2]
Em For forty days and for forty nights. The law was on her side Am But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and plans Em 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round Am Em So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
[Verse 3]
Em She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me Am Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine Em 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
[Bridge]
C Em People always told me be careful of what you do C Em Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts C Em Then she stood right by me. The smell of sweet perfume C B7 This happened much too soon. She called me to her room
[Chorus]
Em Am Em Gadd9/E Em Billie Jean is not my lover Am Em Am Bmadd11/A She's just a girl who says that I am the one Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son Am She says I am the one Gadd11/A Bm7/A Em But the kid is not my son Am Em So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
