(verse 1)
F#m G#m A G#m
She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene
F#m G#m A G#m Bm
I said dont mind but what do you mean, I am the one
Bm F#m G#m A G#m
Who will dance, on the floor, in the round...
Bm
She said I am the one
F#m G#m A G#m
who will dance, on the floor, in the round...
(verse 2)
F# G# A G#
She Told Me Her Name Was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene
F# G# A G# Bm
Then every head turned With eyes that dreamed, of being the One
Bm F#m G#m A G#m
Who will dance, on the floor, in the round

D F#m
People always told me, be careful what you do
D F#m
Dont go around breaking young girls hearts (heeee-eee)
D F#m
And mama always told me, be careful who you love
Bm C#m
Be careful what you do, because a lie becomes the truth (Hey ay-ay)
(Chorus)
F#m G#m A G#m
Billie jean is, not my lover
F#m G#m A G#m Bm
She's just a girl that, claims that I am the one
Bm F#m G#m A G#m
but, the kid is not my son...
Bm
She says I am the one
F#m G#m A G#m
But, the kid is not my son...
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/michael-jackson/389282.html ]
(verse 3)
F#m G#m A G#m
For forty days and for, forty nights
The law was on her side
F#m G#m A G#m
But who can stand when she's in demand
Bm
Her schemes and plans
F#m G#m A G#m
Cause we danced, on the floor, in the round
Bm F#m G#m A G#m
So take my stong advice, just remember to always think twice
Do think twice (Do think twice Wooh!)
(verse 4)
F#m G#m A G#m
She told my baby, thats a threat
as she looked at me
F#m G#m A G#m
She showed a photo of a babys cries
Bm
His eyes were like mine
F#m G#m A G#m
Gonna dance, on the floor, in the round baby
(bridge)
D F#m
And people always told me, be careful what you do
D F#m
Dont go around, breaking young girls hearts (heee-eee)
D F#m
Then she came and stood right by me
D F#m
Cause I smelt her sweet perfume
Bm
I guess it happened all too soon
C#m
and she called me to her room (Hey-ay)
(Chorus)
F#m G#m A G#m
Billie jean is, not my lover
F#m G#m A G#m Bm
She's just a girl that, claims that I am the one
Bm F#m G#m A G#m
but, the kid is not my son...
Bm
She says I am the one
F#m G#m A G#m
But, the kid is not my son...
