Chords with lyrics

Key: E MajorE

Intro:

 C majorC   | C majorC   | C majorC   | C majorC   :



Verse 1:
C majorC               FF
 Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
          C majorC
And all the stars aligned
             FF
You and I ended up in the same room at the same time
C majorC                FF
 And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
               C majorC
Of a chain reaction of countermoves
             FF
To assess the equation of you, checkmate
I couldn’t lose

Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm             FF
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
    G+G               C majorC        C/BC/B
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
A minorAm            FF
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
  G+G
The dominoes cascading in the line


Chorus:
              C majorC
What if I told you I’m the mastermind?
  FF
And now you’re mine
      A minorAm
It was all by design
 G+G      FF
’Cause I’m a mastermind


Verse 2:
C majorC            FF
 You see, all the wisest women had to do it this way
C majorC               FF
’Cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover’s game
C majorC                 FF
 If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
                C majorC
Strategy sets the scene for the tale
                  FF
I’m the wind and I’m free, flowing sails in the liquor of our cocktails

Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm             FF
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
    G+G               C majorC         C/BC/B
And the first night that you saw me
I knew I wanted your body?
A minorAm            FF
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork
  G+G
The dominoes cascading in the line


Chorus:
              C majorC
What if I told you I’m the mastermind?
  FF
And now you’re mine
      A minorAm
It was all by design
 G+G      FF
’Cause I’m a mastermind


Bridge:
C majorC
 No one wanted to play with me as a little kid
C majorC
 So I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since
FF
 To make them love me and make it seem effortless
FF
 Is this the first time I feel the need to confess?
  E minorEm   FF     G+G
And I swear
I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian ’cause I care


Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm           FF
 So I told you none of it was accidental
    G+G               C majorC        C/BC/B
And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me
A minorAm            FF
I laid the groundwork and then, saw a wild smirk
  G+G
On your face, you knew the entire time


Chorus:
          C majorC
You knew that I’m a mastermind
  FF
And now you’re mine
       A minorAm
Yeah, all you did was smile
 G+G      FF     C majorC
’Cause I’m a mastermind
