INTRO:
[F#m] [Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
[F#m] [Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
VERSE 1:
[F#m] She was
[Emaj7] more like a
[F#m7] beauty queen from a
[Emaj7] movie scene
[F#m] I said
[Emaj7] don't mind but what
[F#m7] do you mean,
[Emaj7] I am the
[Bm7] one
Who will dance on the floor in the
[F#m] round
[Emaj7] [F#m7]
She said
[Emaj7] I am the
[Bm7] one, who will dance on the floor in the
[F#m] round
[Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
VERSE 2:
[F#m] She told me
[Emaj7] her name was
[F#m7] Billie Jean, as she
[Emaj7] caused a scene
[F#m] Then every
[Emaj7] head turned with
[F#m7] eyes that dreamed of
[Emaj7] being
The
[Bm7] one, who will dance on the floor in the
[F#m] round
[Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
PRE-CHORUS 1:
[D] People always told me, be
[F#m] careful what you do
Don't
[D] go around breaking young girls
[F#m] hearts
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
CHORUS:
[F#m] Billie
[Emaj7] Jean is
[F#m7] not my
[Emaj7] lover
[F#m] She's just a
[Emaj7] girl who
[F#m7] claims
That
[Emaj7] I am the
[Bm7] one, but The kid is not my
[F#m] son
[Emaj7] [F#m7]
She says
[Emaj7] I am the
[Bm7] one, but the kid is not my
[F#m] son
[Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
VERSE 3:
[F#m] For
[Emaj7] forty days and
[F#m7] forty nights the law was
[Emaj7] on her side
[F#m] But who can
[Emaj7] stand when she's
[F#m7] in demand her
[Emaj7] schemes and
[Bm7] plans
'Cause we danced on the floor in the
[F#m] round
[Emaj7]
[F#m7] So take
[Emaj7] my strong ad-
[Bm7]-vice, just remember to always think
[F#m] twice
[Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
VERSE 4:
[F#m] She told my
[Emaj7] baby we'd
[F#m7] danced till three, then she
[Emaj7] looked at me
[F#m] Then showed a
[Emaj7] photo my
[F#m7] baby cried his
[Emaj7] eyes looked like
[Bm7] mine
Go on dance on the floor in the
[F#m] round, baby
[Emaj7] [F#m7] [Emaj7]
PRE-CHORUS 2:
[D] People always told me, be
[F#m] careful what you do
Don't
[D] go around breaking young girls
[F#m] hearts
She
[D] came and stood right by me, then the
[F#m] smell of sweet perfume
This
[D] happened much too soon, she
[C#7] called me to her room
