1. Ben, the two of us need look no more,
     G                          D
    we both found what we were looking for.
     G                        B7                  F
    With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone.

    And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me.
    G                          D
2. Ben, you're always running here and there,
      G                          D
     you feel you're not wanted anywhere.
     G                  B7                            F
    If you ever look behind, and don't like what you find,

     there's something you should know, you've got a place to go.
   Am               D7    G           Am              D7     G
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
   Am               D7    G           Am              D7     G              C
I used to say :          I and me.  Now it's us,          now it's we.
    G                           D
3. Ben, most people would turn you away,
    G                    D
    I don't listen to a word they say.
      G                      D                         F
    They don't see you as I do, I wish they would try to,
         E                  Am             D                 G   C
    I'm sure they'd think again, if they had a friend like Ben,
          G    C             G     C   G
    like Ben,          like Ben

 REPEAT THROUGH SONG

Intro:
Em x 4
 
Verse 1:
Em
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
                                                 Am
I said don't mind, but what do you mean I am the one
                                   Em
Who will dance on the floor in the round
                  Am                                      Em
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
                                                           Am
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
                                   Em
Who will dance on the floor in the round
 
 
Bridge:
C                        Em
People always told me be careful of what you do
      C                               Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
    C                        Em
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
       C                                 B7
And be careful of what you do before the lie becomes the truth
 
Chorus:
Em     Am      Em     G       Em
Billie Jean is not my lover
             Am       Em                 Am  Bm
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
        G      Bm7    Em
But the kid is not my son
                  Am
She says I am the one
        G      Bm7    Em
But the kid is not my son
 
Verse 2:
Em
For forty days and for forty nights. The law was on her side.
                                                        Am
But who can stand when she's in demand. Her schemes and plans.
                                     Em
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
                    Am                             Em
So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)
 
Verse 3:
Em
She told my baby we'd danced till three, then she looked at me
                                                     Am
Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine
                                     Em
'Cause we danced on the floor in the round
 
Bridge:
C                        Em
People always told me be careful of what you do
      C                               Em
Don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
         C                      Em
Then she stood right by me. The smell of sweet perfume.
     C                           B7
This happened much too soon. She called me to her room.
 
Chorus:
Em     Am      Em     G       Em
Billie Jean is not my lover
             Am       Em                 Am  Bm
She's just a girl who says that I am the one
        G      Bm7    Em
But the kid is not my son
                  Am
She says I am the one
        G      Bm7    Em
But the kid is not my son
                    Am                             Em
So take my strong advice, remember to always think twice
(Do think twice)

That you se-duce every man; this time you won't seduce me.

I didn't call on the phone, to say that I'm al-right.

At that I ran to the phone, sayin'; baby, I'm al-right.

I said but unlock the door, because I forgot the key.

Hold My Hand

(Key: C)


A#        C    A#          C
 Looking out, across the night-time;
A#         C                 A#   C
 The city winks a sleepless eye.
A#         C      A#        C
 Hear her voice, shake my window;
A#         Am7    Gm7  
 Sweet se-ducing sighs.


A#       C    A#        C
 Get me out, into the night-time;
A#                 C           A#     C
 Four walls won't hold me, to-night.
A#        C     A#          C
 If this town, is just an apple;
A#            Am7    Gm7  C
 Then let me take a bite. (If they say);


A#     C    F         F      Dm    C
 Why? why? Tell them that its human nature.

 Why? why? Tell them that its human nature.
A#     Am7          Gm7             C
 Why? why? Does he do me that way?


A#        C     A#          C
 Reaching out, to touch a stranger;
A#         C              A#     C
 Electric eyes are every-where.
A#         C         A#         C
 See that girl; she knows I'm watching,
A#              Am7   Gm7   C
 She likes the way I stare. (If they say):



A#     C    F               Dm    C

I like livin' this way,
       Gm7             Dm, Gm9  A#maj7 (C)
I like lovin' this way.           That way.



A#        C      A#         C
 Looking out, a-cross the morning,
A#           C              A#    C
 The city's heart begin to beat.
A#         C    A#           C
 Reaching out, I touch her shoulder;
A#             Am7    Gm7    C
 I'm dreaming of the street. (If they say):



A#     C    F               Dm    C
 Why? why? Tell them that its human nature.
A#     Am7          Gm7             Dm
 Why? why? Does he do me that way? (If they say);

G         D/F#          Em  D              C
I'm gonna make a change,    for once in my life
           G         D/F#               Em          D             C
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference, gonna make it right
     G        D/F#         Em            D           C
As I, turn up the collar on  my favorite winter coat, this wind is blowin' my mind
          G           D/F#             Em            D
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
          C
Who am I, to be blind, pretending not to see their needs

Am7                  C/B
 A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
C                 C/B
 And a one man's soul
     Am7                      C/B
They follow each other on the wind ya' know
            C                 D
'Cause they got nowhere to go
                              G
That's why I want you to know


Chorus:
G    G/B               C          D
 I'm starting with the man in the mirror
G    G/B           C          D
 I'm asking him to change his ways
G       G/B                C        A/C#
 And no message could have been any clearer

                                               G  D/F#
 Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

Em         D                 C                 D
  Na na na,  na na na na, na na, na na, uh-huh

G           D/F#      Em        D            C
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love, It's time that I realize
          G            D/F#        Em             D
There are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
            C
Could it be really me, pretending that they're not alone?

Am7                     C/B
 A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
C                 C/B
 And a washed-out dream
     Am7                       C/B
They follow the pattern of the wind, ya' see
            C                 D
'Cause they got no place to be
                               G
That's why I'm starting with me

Chorus x2

 I'm starting with the man in the mirror

 I'm asking him to change his ways

 No message could have been any clearer

 If you wanna make the world a better place
 Take a look at yourself and then make the change
 You gotta get it right, while you got the time
 'Cause when you close your heart

                      G#
 Then you close your, mind

 It's close to midnight, and something evil's, lurking in the dark.

           D7                                             Am7

 You feel the cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun.
	       D7                                     Am7
You close your eyes, and hope that this is just imagi-nation.
            D7                                          Am7

 I'll make you see,

Chorus 3:

              Am    C    D        Am7
That this is; Thril-ler, Thriller Night;

So let me hold you tight, and share a killer,
D7       F/G  Am7  C
 Diller, chil-ler, Thriller here tonight.

(Spoken):

Darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.
Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorise y'awl's neighbourhood.
And whosoever shall be found, without the soul for getting down,
Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell and rot inside a corpse's shell.
The foulest stench is in the air; the funk of forty thousand years,
And grizzy ghouls from every tomb, are closing in to seal your doom.
And though you fight to stay alive; your body starts to shiver,
For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of The Thriller...

You Rock My World

A duet with Akon , this was released as the first single from Michael Jackson's first posthumous album of original material, Michael . According to the Hold My Hand Songfacts, a handwritten note from Jackson belonging to his Estate indicated his desire that this song should be the first single on his next project. Though an unfinished version of the song leaked out in 2008, Akon went on to complete a new and final production.   

The music for this song was written by Charlie Chaplin for the score of a 1936 movie he directed called "Modern Times". With lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons in 1954, it became a popular standard. It was reportedly Michael Jackson's favorite song, and his version of the song was almost released as a single in 1997. Read more on Last.fm.

&quot;Ben&quot; is a number-one hit song written by Don Black and Walter Scharf and recorded by the teenaged Michael Jackson for the Motown label in 1972. The song, the theme of a 1972 film of the same name (the sequel to the 1971 killer rat movie Willard), spent one week at the top of the U.S. pop chart. It also reached number-one on the Australian pop chart, spending eight weeks at the top spot. The song also later reached a peak of number seven on the British pop chart.  The song became the first of 13 number-one pop hits for Jackson in the United States and his first number-one as a solo artist. 

&quot;Human Nature&quot; is a single released by Michael Jackson, and is the fifth of seven singles released from his 1982 hit album Thriller. It was written by Toto member Steve Porcaro, with the lyrics provided by John Bettis. According to the Human Nature Songfacts, Porcaro originally wrote the song for his daughter. He explained: &quot;Something had happened at school and it just inspired me.&quot;  The song reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, but was not as big an international hit as his previous songs, as the single was not released outside the United States.

Beat It is a hit single from Michael Jackson's 1982 album Thriller. Beat It won Jackson two Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. It was also nominated for Song of the Year along with Jackson's Billie Jean. The song was ranked #337 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.   Beat It is also notable for its guitar solo, a guest performance by Eddie Van Halen.

I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
