Hey!
Are we good?
Are we smiling?
So, a couple more songs, is that okay?
[D]
[Em] I have no idea how long we've been playing, but we're having a lot of fun, so thanks for listening.
Another cover song, if that's cool.
[Db] I said yes, yes, yes, [E] yes.
You've known every word, it's been so fun.
I'm not meaning to point you out, but you are awesome.
Well, now we're covering Foghat, [Ab] so I hope you know that.

[E] No, stop!
[Bm] [Em] [B]
[Em]
[E] [Em] She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene.

[Gbm] I am the [E] one.
Who will dance on the floor [Em] in the rain.
[B] [E] She said, I [Am] am the one.
Who will dance on the floor [Em] in the rain.
[E] [Em]
[E] [Em] She told me [Bm] her name's Billie Jean.

[Am] To be in the one.
Who will dance on the floor [Bm] in the rain.
[E] [Em] [E]
[C] People always told [Em] me, be careful what you do.
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts.
Mama always told [Em] me, be careful your love.
[Am] Be careful what you do.
[B] The love becomes a [E] true love.
[Em] [Bm] She [G] was [E] not my lover.
[Em] She just a girl who claims [E] to have the [Am] world.
But the kid's [E] not my [Em] son.
[B] [E] She [Em] says, I [Am] am the one.
But the kid's not [Em] my [D] son.
[B] [Em] [D]
[E] [G] 40 days and 40 [E] nights.
And always all the style.
[Em] But who can stand when she's in [C] demand.
Her [A] schemes and [Am] plans.
Cause we dance on the floor in [Em] the rain.
[E] So take my [Am] strong advice.
[E] Just remember to.
Oh, I think [D] [E] she [G] told my baby.
Dance till three and she looked at me.
And showed [Bm] a photo.
[E] Baby cried his eyes were [Am] like mine.
Cause we danced on the floor [E] in the rain.
[Em]
[C] People always told me, be careful what you do.
[C] Don't go around breaking [Em] young girls' hearts.
[C] She came and stood above [E] me.
With a smell of sweet [Em] perfume.
[Am] It happened much too soon.
[B] She called me to her room.
And [Bm] she [Em] is not my lover.
She just a girl who claims [E] to have the [Am] world.
But the kid's not [Em] my son.
[B] [E] She says, I am the one.
[Am] But the kid's not [Em] my son.
