Intro:
Em Em x 4

Verse 1:
Em Em
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Am Am
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Em Em
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Am Am Em 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 Am
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Em Em
Who will dance on the floor in the round


Bridge:
C C Em Em
People always told me be careful of what you do
C C Em Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
C C Em Em
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
C C B7 B7
And be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth

Chorus:
Em Em Am Am Em Em G G Em Em
Billie Jean is not my lover
Am Am Em Em Am Am Bm Bm
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
G G Bm7 Bm7 Em Em
But the kid is not my son
Am Am
She says I am the one
G G Bm7 Bm7 Em Em
But the kid is not my son

Verse 2:
Em Em
For forty days and for forty nights. The law was on her side.
Am Am
But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and plans.
Em Em
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
Am Am Em Em
So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

Verse 3:
Em Em
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
Am Am
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine
Em Em
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

Bridge:
C C Em Em
People always told me be careful of what you do
C C Em Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
C C Em Em
Then she stood right by me. The smell of sweet perfume.
C C B7 B7
This happened much too soon. She called me to her room.

Chorus:
Em Em Am Am Em Em G G Em Em
Billie Jean is not my lover
Am Am Em Em Am Am Bm Bm
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
G G Bm7 Bm7 Em Em
But the kid is not my son
Am Am
She says I am the one
G G Bm7 Bm7 Em Em
But the kid is not my son
Am Am Em Em
So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
