[E]
Once upon a time the planets in the face and all the stars aligned
You and I ended up [Am] in the same room at the same [E] time
And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
[A] Of a chain reaction of [E] counter moves
To assess the equation [Am] of you
Checkmate I [C#m] couldn't lose
What if I [A] told you none of it was [B] accidental in the first night that you saw me [E] nothing was [D#m] gonna stop me
[C#] I laid the [A] groundwork and then just like [B] clockwork the dominoes cascaded in a line
But if I told you [E] I'm a mastermind
[A] How you mine
It [C#m] was all by design
[E] Cuz I'm a mastermind
You see all the wisest [A] women had to do it this [E]
way
Cuz we were born to be [A] the pawn in every [E] lovers game
If you fail to plan you [A] plan to fail
Strategy sets the [E] scene for the tale.
I'm the wind in our free-flowing sales
The liquor in our [C#m] cocktails
What if I told you [A] none of it was accidental [B] in the first night that you saw [E] me?
I knew I wanted your [C#] body.
I laid the [A] groundwork and then just like [B] clockwork the dominoes cascaded
But if I told you [E] I'm a mastermind
And [A] now you're mine
It was [C#m] all my design
[B] Cuz [E] I'm a [A] mastermind
[E] Okay, so I've been scheming like a lover since [A] to make them love me and make it seem effortless
This is the first time I felt the need to [E] confess and I swear
[A] Only
[B] cryptic and Machiavellian cuz I [C#m] care
So I told [A] you none of it was accidental [B] in the [E] first night that you saw me.
Nothing was gonna stop [C#] me
I laid the [A] groundwork and then saw a white [B] smirk on your face.
You knew the entire time
You [E] knew that I'm a mastermind
And now you're mine
Yeah, [C#m] all you did was smile
[E] Cuz I'm a mastermind
