Mastermind chords by Taylor Swift

Key: E

Intro:

 C   | C   | C   | C   :




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

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


Chorus:
              C
What if I told you I’m the mastermind?
  F
And now you’re mine
      Am
It was all by design
 G      F
’Cause I’m a mastermind


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


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


Chorus:
              C
What if I told you I’m the mastermind?
  F
And now you’re mine
      Am
It was all by design
 G      F
’Cause I’m a mastermind


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


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


Chorus:
          C
You knew that I’m a mastermind
  F
And now you’re mine
       Am
Yeah, all you did was smile
 G      F     C
’Cause I’m a mastermind
