[Intro] C
C F
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
C
And all the stars aligned
F
You and I ended up in the same room
At the same time
C F
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
C
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
F
To assess the equation of you
Checkmate, I couldn't lose
Am F
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
G
And the first night that you saw me
C G/B
Nothing was gonna stop me
Am F
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
G
The dominoes cascaded in a line
C
What if I told you I'm the mastermind?
F
And now you're mine
Am
It was all by design
G F
'Cause I'm a mastermind
C F
You see, all the wisest women had to do it this way
C F
'Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game
C F
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
C
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
F
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
Am F
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
G
And the first night that you saw me
C G/B
I knew I wanted your body?
Am F
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
G
The dominoes cascaded in a line
C
What if I told you I'm the mastermind?
F
And now you're mine
Am
It was all my design
G F
'Cause I'm a mastermind
C
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
F
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
This is the first time I feel the need to confess
Em F G
And I swear, I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian
Am
'Cause I care
F
So I told you none of it was accidental
G
And the first night that you saw me
C G/B
Nothing was gonna stop me
Am F
I laid the groundwork and then, saw a wild smirk
G
On your face, you knew the entire time
C
You knew that I'm a mastermind
F
And now you're mine
Am
Yeah, all you did was smile
G F
'Cause I'm a mastermind
