Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
G C C/B
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
Am F
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
G
The dominoes cascaded in a line
[Chorus]
C
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
F
And now you're mine
Am
It was all by design
G F
'Cause I'm a mastermind
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
What if I told you none of it was accidental?
G C C/B
And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body?
Am F
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
G
The dominoes cascaded in a line
[Chorus]
C
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
F
And now you're mine
Am
It was all by design
G F
'Cause I'm a mastermind
[Bridge]
C
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
C
So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
F
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
F
This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
Em F G
And I swear, I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
So I told you none of it was accidental
G C C/B
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
Am F
I laid the groundwork and then saw a wide smirk
G
On your face, you knew the entire time
[Chorus]
C
You knew that I'm a mastermind
F
And now you're mine
Am
Yeah, all you did was smile
G F C
'Cause I'm a mastermind
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned
You and I ended up in the same room at the same time
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
To assess the equation of you
Checkmate, I couldn't lose
What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all by design
'Cause I'm a mastermind
You see all the wisest women had to do it this way
'Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
What if I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, I knew I wanted your body
I laid the groundwork and then just like clockwork
The dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
And now you're mine
It was all my design
'Cause I'm a mastermind
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
To make them love me and make it seem effortless
This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
And I swear
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care
So I told you none of it was accidental
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
I laid the groundwork and then saw a wide smirk
On your face, you knew the entire time
You knew that I'm a mastermind
And now you're mine
Yeah, all you did was smile
'Cause I'm a mastermind
