• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: E MajorE

♫ Intro:


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

At the same time

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

Checkmate
I couldn't lose


♫ Chorus:
C# minorC#m              A augmentedA
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
      BB
In the first night that you saw me
    E MajorE
Nothing was gonna stop me
C# minorC#m               A augmentedA
I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork
  BB            E MajorE
The dominoes cascaded in the line
             E MajorE
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
  A augmentedA
And now you're mine
      C# minorC#m
It was all by design
       A augmentedA
'Cause I'm a mastermind

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

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

In every lover's game


♫ Pre-Chorus:
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
 If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
                E MajorE
Strategy sets the scene for the tail
                  A augmentedA
I'm the wind and I'm free, flowing sails
    N.C.
In the liquor in our cocktails


♫ Chorus:
C# minorC#m              A augmentedA
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
      BB
In the first night that you saw me
    E MajorE
Nothing was gonna stop me
C# minorC#m               A augmentedA
I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork
  BB            E MajorE
The dominoes cascaded in the line
             E MajorE
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
  A augmentedA
And now you're mine
      C# minorC#m
It was all my design
       A augmentedA
'Cause I'm a mastermind


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

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

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

'Cause I can


♫ Chorus:
C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
 So I told you none of it was accidental?
       BB
In the first night that you saw me
    E MajorE
Nothing was gonna stop me
C# minorC#m               A augmentedA
I laid the groundwork, and then

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