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
