intro : E . . .

E
once upon a time
A
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 . .

E A
and the touch of a hand lit the fuse . .
E
of a chain reaction of countermoves . .
A
to assess the equation of you . .
checkmate , i couldn’t lose

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
the dominoes cascaded in a line . .

reff :
E
what if i told you i’m a mastermind . .
A
and now you’re mine . .
C#m
it was all by design . .
B A
cause i’m a mastermind . .

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 . .

E A
if you fail to plan , you plan to fail . .
E
strategy sets the scene for the tale . .
A
i’m the wind in our free – flowing sails . .
and the liquor in our cocktails

C#m
what if i told you
A
none of it was accidental
B
and the first night that you saw me

C#m
i laid the groundwork
A
and then just like clockwork

E
what if i told you i’m a mastermind . .
A
and now you’re mine . .
C#m
it was all my design . .
B A

E
no one wanted to play with me
as a little kid . .
E
so i’ve been scheming like a criminal
ever since . .
A
to make them love me
and make it seem effortless . .
A
this is the first time
i’ve felt the need to confess

G#m A
and i swear . .
B
i’m only cryptic and machiavellian
cause i care . .

C#m A
so i told you 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

on your face , you knew the entire time

A
and now you’re mine . .
