[Verse 1]
E
 Once upon a time
            Esus4                                   E
The planets and  the fates and all the stars aligned
                          Esus4
You and I ended up in the same room at the same time
E                                    Esus4
 And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
                                   E
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
                             Esus4
To assess the equation of you
Checkmate, I couldn't lose

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
   What if I told you
        A
None of it was accidental
        B
And the first night that you saw me
  E               B/D#
Nothing was gonna stop me
C#m
I  laid the groundwork
    A
And then just like clockwork
    B                                                   E
The dominoes cascaded in a line What if I told you I'm a

[Chorus]
   E
mastermind
    A
And now you're mine
           C#m
It was all by design
B               A
'Cause I'm a mastermind

[Verse 2]
   E                         Esus4
You see all the wisest women had  to do it this way
      E                            Esus4
'Cause we were born to be the pawn in   every lover's game
  E
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
Esus4
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
E
I'm the wind in our freeflowing sails
Esus4
And  the liquor in our cocktails

[Pre-Chorus]
    C#m
What   if I told you
           A
None of it was accidental
              B
And the first night that you saw me
       E               B/D# C#m
I knew I wanted your body  I
                            A
laid the groundwork And then
just like clockwork
      B                                                 E
The dominoes cascaded in a line What if I told you I'm a

[Chorus]
   E
mastermind
    A
And now you're mine
           C#m
It was all by design
B               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/G#     A
And I   swear
         B                                      C#m
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care

[Pre-Chorus]
So I told you
        A
None of it was accidental
        B
And the first night that you saw me
  E               B/D#
Nothing was gonna stop me
C#m
I  laid the groundwork
    A
And then saw a wide smirk
   B
On your face,
                                            E
you knew the entire time You knew that I'm a

[Chorus]
   E
mastermind
    A
And now you're mine
              C#m
Yeah, all you did was smile
B               A      E
'Cause I'm a mastermind
