[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C
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
And the first night that you saw me,
C C/B
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
And the first night that you saw me,
C C/B
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

So I told you none of it
