Mastermind

	  		Intro E 

E                           E4 
Once upon a time, the planets and the fates 
                     E 
And all the stars aligned 
                           E4 
You and I ended up in the same room 

At the same time 

E                           E4 
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse 
                              E 
Of a chain reaction of countermoves 
                          E4 
To assess the equation of you 

Checkmate, I couldn't lose 

C#m7                         A2 
What if I told you none of it was accidental? 
           B4 
And the first night that you saw me 
    E               B/D# 
Nothing was gonna stop me 
C#m7                      A2 
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork 
       B4 
The dominoes cascading in the line 
                                E 
What if I told you I'm the mastermind? 
     A2 
And now you're mine 
           C#m7  
It was all by design 
   B4      A2 
'Cause I'm a mastermind 

E                       E4 
You see, all the wisest women had to do it this way 
E                            E4 
'Cause we were born to be the pawn of every lover's game 

E                             E4 
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail 
                                 E 
Strategy sets the scene for the tale 
                                    E4 
I'm the wind and I'm free, flowing sails 

In the liquor of our cocktails 

C#m7                         A2 
What if I told you none of it was accidental? 
           B4 
And the first night that you saw me 
    E               B/D# 
I knew I wanted your body? 
C#m7                      A2 
I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork 
       B4 
The dominoes cascading in the line 
                                E 
What if I told you I'm the mastermind? 
     A2 
And now you're mine 
           C#m7  
It was all my design 
   B4      A2 
'Cause I'm a mastermind 

E 
No one wanted to play with me as a little kid 

So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since 
A4 
To make them love me and make it seem effortless 

Is this the first time I feel the need to confess? 
     G#m   A2 
And I swear, I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 
             C#m7 
'Cause I care 

                       A2 
So I told you none of it was accidental 
         B4 
And the first night that you saw me 
    E              B/D# 
Nothing was gonna stop me 
C#m7                        A2 
I laid the groundwork and then, saw a wild smirk 
         B4 
On your face, you knew the entire time 
                          E 
You knew that I'm a mastermind 
     A2 
And now you're mine 
               C#m7 
Yeah, all you did was smile 
   B4        A2 
'Cause I'm a mastermind
