Billie Jean in Bossanova -Susan Wong






F#m  G#m/F#, A/E  G#m/F# (x2)

Verse 1:

F#m       G#m/F#       A/E                  G#m/F#
 She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene,
F#m       G#m/F#                A/E          G#m/F#    Bm7
 I said; don't mind, but what do you mean; I am the one?
                                    F#m    G#m/F#  A/E
Who will dance on the floor, in the round.
          G#m/F#    Bm7                                     (F#m)
She said; I am the one, who will dance on the floor, in the round.

Interlude:

F#m  G#m/F#, A/E  G#m/F#

Verse 2:

F#m           G#m/F#        A/E                 G#m/F#
 She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene.
F#m          G#m/F#             A/E                  G#m/F#     Bm7
 Then every head turned, with eyes that dreamed of being the one,
                                   (F#m)
Who will dance on the floor, in the round.

Interlude:

F#m  G#m/F#, A/E  G#m/F#

Bridge 1:

D                          F#m
 People always told me; be careful what you do;
          D                               F#m
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts.
    D                         F#m
And mother always told me; be careful of who you love;
       D                                C#7
And be careful of what you do, 'cos the lie becomes the truth.

Chorus 1:

F#m      G#m/F#   A/E    G#m/F#
 Billie Jean is not my lover;
F#m            G#m/F#     A/E         G#m/F#    Bm7
 She's just a girl who, claims that I am the one.
                      F#m  G#m/F#, A/E
But the kid is not my son.
          G#m/F#    Bm7                       (F#m)
She says; I am the one, but the kid is not my son.

Interlude:

F#m  G#m/F#, A/E  G#m/F#

Verse 3:

F#m   G#m/F#          A/E                       G#m/F#
 For forty days and forty nights, the law was on her side.
F#m           G#m/F#             A/E        G#m/F#           Bm7
 But who can stand, when she's in demand, her schemes and plans?
                                    F#m    G#m/F#, A/E
'Cos we danced on the floor, in the round.
        G#m/F#       Bm7                                  F#m    G#m/F#
So take my strong a-dvice; just remember to always think twice.
          A/E             G#m/F#
(Do think twice, do think twice).

Verse 3:

F#m           G#m/F#     A/E                          G#m/F#
 She told my baby we'd danced 'till three, then she looked a me,
F#m             G#m/F#     A/E             G#m/F#            Bm7
 Then showed a photo; my baby cried; his eyes looked like mine.
                                 F#m          G#m/F#  A/E  G#m/F#
Go on dance on the floor, in the round, baby.

Bridge 2:

D                          F#m
 People always told me; be careful what you do;
          D                               F#m
And don't go around breaking young girl's hearts.
    D                                    F#m
She came and stood right by me; then the smell of sweet perfume.
     D                           C#7
This happened much too soon; she called me to her room.

 Billie Jean is not my lover;
