Intro: E

Verse 1:
E                               A
  Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
                   E
And all the stars aligned
                          A
You and I ended up in the same room

At the same time

Pre-chorus:
E                                 A
  And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
                               E
Of a chain reaction of counter moves
                          A
To assess the equation of you

Checkmate, I couldn't lose

Chorus:
Dbm                            A
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
            B
In the first night that you saw me
       E
Nothing was gonna stop me
Dbm                             A
I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork
    B                        E
The dominoes cascaded in the line
                         E
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
    A
And now you're mine
           Dbm
It was all by design
             A
'Cause I'm a mastermind

Verse 2:
E                         A
  You see, all the wisest women

Had to do it this way
E                               A
  'Cause we were born to be the pawn

In every lover's game

Pre-chorus:
E                                 A
 If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
                                E
Strategy sets the scene for the tail
                                   A
I'm the wind and I'm free, flowing sails
       (nc)
In the liquor in our cocktails

Chorus:
Dbm                            A
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
            B
In the first night that you saw me
       E
Nothing was gonna stop me
Dbm                             A
I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork
    B                        E
The dominoes cascaded in the line
                         E
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
    A
And now you're mine
           Dbm
It was all my design
             A
'Cause I'm a mastermind

Bridge:
E
 No one wanted to play with me as a little kid

So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since
A
 To make them love me and make it seem effortless

This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
    E    A
And I swear
         B
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian

'Cause I can

Chorus:
Dbm                       A
  So I told you none of it was accidental?
             B
In the first night that you saw me
       E
Nothing was gonna stop me
Dbm                             A
I laid the groundwork, and then

Saw a white smirk
   B                              E
On your face, you knew the entire time
                    E
You knew that I'm a mastermind?
    A
And now you're mine
              Dbm
Yeah, all you did was smile
             A           E
'Cause I'm a mastermind
