      [Verse 1]
A                     E                   F#m
 She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
A                          E              F#m      A
 I said, "oh mama, what do you mean I am the one?"
E           F#m        A      E    F#m
   She said I am the one
A                          E                   F#m
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
A                            E                   F#m          A    
 Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
        E            F#m          A     E    F#m
Go and dance on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus]
          B                         A   
And the people always told me, be careful what you do
              C#m                              B
And don't you go around breaking young girls' hearts
    F#m                        A                
My mother always told me, be careful who you love
       C#m                          G#             
And be careful what you do cause a lie becomes a truth

[Chorus]
E              G#m   C#m      B
And Billie Jean is not my lover
A              B         A         E/G#     F#m
 She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one
        E             A
But the kid is not my son
        B   N.C.
But the kid is not my son

[Post-Chorus - Instrumental]
A       E      F#m    
A       E      F#m
F#m      
She says I am the one
A       E      F#m    
A       E      F#m

[Verse 2]
C#m                    
For forty days and for forty nights            
The law was on her side
C#m                             
But who can stand when she's in demand?
               A       E/G#
Her schemes and plans
A         B        A
 So take my strong advice
B
Don't think twice
C#m
She told me baby we'd danced 'til three
Then she looked at me
She showed me a photo of a baby crying
                      F#m   E
His eyes looked like mine
        A            E               A      B
Go and dance on the floor in the round

[Pre-Chorus]
          A                        C#m 
And the people always told me, be careful what you do
                A                             C#m    B
And don't you go around breaking young girls' hearts
        F#m                   
But she came and stood right by me
        C#m                D
And she smelled of sweet perfume
         A                 
And this happened much too soon
        G#                 
And she brought me to her room

[Chorus]
E              G#m   C#m      B
And Billie Jean is not my lover
A              B         A         E/G#     F#m
 She's just a girl who thinks that I am the one
        E             A
But the kid is not my son
        B   N.C.
But the kid is not my son

[Outro]
A       E      F#m    
A       E      F#m
