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
