Verse 1:
[Em] She was [F#m/E]more like a [G/D]beauty queen, from a [F#m/E]movie scene,
[Em] I said; [F#m/E]don't mind, but what [G/D]do you mean; [F#m/E]I am the [Am7]one?
Who will dance on the floor, in the [Em]round.[F#m/E] [G/D]

Who will dance on the floor, in the[(Em)] round.

Bridge 1:
[C] People always told me; be [Em]careful what you do;
And don't [C]go around breaking young girl's [Em]hearts.
And [C]mother always told me; be [Em]careful of who you love;
And be [C]careful of what you do, 'cos the [B7]lie becomes the truth.
Chorus 1:
[Em] Billie [F#m/E]Jean is [G/D]not my [F#m/E]lover;

[Em] For [F#m/E]forty days and [G/D]forty nights, the law was [F#m/E]on her side.
[Em] But who can [F#m/E]stand, when she's [G/D]in demand, [F#m/E]her schemes and [Am7]plans?
Em F#m/E, G/D
'Cos we danced on the floor, in the round.
So take [F#m/E]my strong a-[Am7]dvice; just remember to always think [Em]twice.[F#m/E]
(Do think [G/D]twice, do think [F#m/E]twice).
Verse 3:
[Em] She told my [F#m/E]baby we'd [G/D]danced 'till three, then she [F#m/E]looked a me,
[Em] Then showed a [F#m/E]photo; my [G/D]baby cried; his [F#m/E]eyes looked like [Am7]mine.
Go on dance on the floor, in the [Em]round, baby.[F#m/E] [G/D] [F#m/E]
Bridge 2:
[C] People always told me; be [Em]careful what you do;
And don't [C]go around breaking young girl's [Em]hearts.

This [C]happened much too soon; she [B7]called me to her room.
