E
(VER)
E
Once upon a time, the planet
A
s and the fates
And all the stars
E
aligned
You and I ended up in the
A
same
room
At the same time
(PRE CHO)
E
And the touch of a hand lit the
A
fuse
Of a chain reaction of counter
E
moves
To assess the equation of
A
you
Checkmate, I couldn’t lose
(CHO)
C#m
What if I told you none of i
A
t was accidental?
And the
B
first night that you saw me
N
E
othing was gonna stop me
C#m
I laid the groundwork, and
A
then
Just like clockwork
The
B
dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I’m a
E
mastermind?
And
A
now you’re mine
It was all
C#m

B
Cause I’m a
A
mastermind
(VER)
E
You see, all the wisеst
A
women
Had to do it this way
E
‘Cause we were born to be the
A
pawn
In every lover’s game
(PRE CHO)
E
If you fail to plan, you plan to
A
fail
Strategy sets the scene for the
E
tale
I’m the wind in our free-flowing
A
sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
(CHO)
C#m
What if I told you none of i
A
t was accidental?
And the
B
first night that you saw me
I
E
knew I wanted your body
C#m
I laid the groundwork, and
A
then
Just like clockwork
The
B
dominoes cascaded in a line
What if I told you I’m a
E
mastermind?
And
A
now you’re mine
It was all m

(BRI)
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
And
G#m
I
swear
A
I’m only
B
cryptic and Machiavellian
‘Cause I care
(CHO)
C#m
So I told you none of i
A
t was accidental
And the
B
first night that you saw me
No
E
thing was gonna stop me
C#m
I laid the groundwork, and
A
then
Saw a wide smirk on
B
your
face
You knew the entire time
You knew that I’m a
E
mastermind
And
A
now you’re mine
Yeah, all you
C#m
did was smile
