VERSE 1
Em      F#m7               G5    F#m7
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
Em     F#m7                    G5    Am7
Said I don't mind, what do you mean, I am the one
                                        Em   F#m7   G5   
Who will dance on the floor in the round
F#m7               Am7                                         Em   F#m7   G5   F#m7
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round


VERSE 2
Em       F#m7                   G5           F#m7
She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
Em    F#m7             G5                   F#m7      Am7
Every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
                                        Em   F#m7   G5   F#m7
Who will dance on the floor in the round


BRIDGE 1
    C/G                      Em
And people always told me be careful of what you do
C/G                                     Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
    C/G                      Em
And mother always told me be careful who you love
C/G                          B7
Careful what you do when the lie becomes the truth


CHORUS
Em   F#m7      G5     F#m7
Billie Jean is not my lover
Em         F#m7         G5        F#m7     Am7
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
                          Em   F#m7   G5
But the kid is not my son
F#m7              Am7                           Em   F#m7   G5   F#m7
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son


VERSE 3
Em        F#m7               G5     F#m7
For forty days and for forty nights Law was on her side
Em      F#m7                    G5          F#m7            Am7
but who can stand when she's in demand, her schemes and her plans
                                           Em   F#m7   G5   F#m7
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
Am7                                                  Em    F#m7   G5   F#m7
So take my strong advice, oh just remember to always think twice


BRIDGE 2
C/G                      Em
People always told me be careful of what you do
          C/G                             Em
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
    C/G                                  Em
She came and stood right by me, then the smell of sweet perfume
     C/G                              B7
This happened much too soon, then she called me to her room


CHORUS
Em   F#m7      G5     F#m7
Billie Jean is not my lover
Em         F#m7         G5        F#m7     Am7
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
                          Em   F#m7   G5
But the kid is not my son
F#m7              Am7                           Em   F#m7   G5   F#m7
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
