Billie Jean

Intro:

Em (Top 4 strings picked slowly down then up) x 4

 

Verse 1:

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene

I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

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

Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one

Who will dance on the floor in the round

 

 

Bridge:

People always told me be careful of what you do

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

And mother always told me be careful of who you love

And be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth

 

Chorus:

Em Am Em Gadd9/

Billie Jean is not my lover

m Em Am Bmadd11/A

She's just a girl who says that I am the one

Gadd11/A Bm7/

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one

Gadd11/A Bm7/

But the kid is not my son

 

Verse 2:

For forty days and for forty nights. The law was on her side.

But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and plans.

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice

(Do think twice)

 

Verse 3:

She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me

Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine

'Cause we danced on the floor in the round

 

Bridge:

People always told me be careful of what you do

Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts

Then she stood right by me. The smell of sweet perfume.

This happened much too soon. She called me to her room.

 

Chorus:

Em Am Em Gadd9/

Billie Jean is not my lover

m Em Am Bmadd11/A

She's just a girl who says that I am the one

Gadd11/A Bm7/

But the kid is not my son

She says I am the one

Gadd11/A Bm7/

But the kid is not my son

So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
