Mastermind

Capo: 4th fret 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 cascaded in a line Chorus C What if I told you I'm a 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 in our free-flowing sails and the liquor in 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 cascaded in a line Chorus C What if I told you I'm a 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 This is the first time I've felt 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 wide 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
