(F#m)She was (G#m/F#)more like a (F#m7)beauty queen from a (G#m/F#)movie scene
(F#m)I said don`t (G#m/F#)mind but what (F#m7)do you mean,
(G#m/F#)I am the (Bm7)one       (bass: b f# a b . f# e f# (2x))
Who will dance on the floor in the (F#m)round?  (G#m/F#)            (F#m7)
She said (G#m/F#)I am the (Bm7)one
Who will dance on the floor in the (F#m)round?  (G#m/F#)            (F#m7)
(G#m/F#)
She told me her name was Billie Jean as she caused a scene.
Then ev`ry head turned with eyes that dreamed
Of being the one,
Who will dance on the floor in the round

(D)People always told me, be (F#m)careful what you do.
And don`t (D)go around breaking young girls' hearts(F#m).
And (D)mother always told me, be (F#m)careful who you love,
And be (D)careful what you do, `cause the (C#7)lie becomes the truth, hey

{start_of_chorus}
(F#m)Billie (G#m/F#)Jean is (F#m7)not my (G#m/F#)lover,
(F#m)She's just a (G#m/F#)girl who (F#m7)claims that (G#m/F#)I am the (Bm7)one
But the kid is not my (F#m)son   (G#m/F#)            (F#m7)
She says (G#m/F#)I am the (Bm7)one,
But the kid is not my (F#m)son   (G#m/F#)            (F#m7)             (G#m/F#)

For forty days and forty nights, law was on her side
But who can stand when she`s in demand,
Her scemes and plans
`Cause we danced on the floor in the round.
So take my strong advice: Just remember to always think twice

She told my baby we danced till three, and she looked at me,
Then showed a photo. My baby cried.
His eyes were like mine.
Can we dance on the floor in the round?

(D)People always told me, be (F#m)careful what you do.
And don`t (D)go around breaking young girls' hearts(F#m).
But you (D)came and stood right by me, just a (F#m)smell of sweet perfume.
This (D)happened much too soon. She (C#7)called me to her room, hey
