**Intro :** {C}
[C]Once upon a time
The planets [F]and the fates
And all the stars a[C]ligned
You and I ended up in the [F]same room
At the same time
[C]And the touch of a hand lit the fus[F]e
Of a chain reaction of counter[C]moves
To assess the equation of [F]you
Checkmate, I couldn’t lose
[Am]What if I told you
None of [F]it was accidental
And the [G]first night that you saw me
No[C]thing was gonna st[G]op m[B]e
[Am]I laid the groundwork
And [F]then just like clockwork
The [G]dominoes cascaded in a line
**Chorus :**
What if I told you I’m a m[C]astermind
And n[F]ow you’re mine
It was all b[Am]y design
C[G]ause I’m a mas[F]termind
[C]You see all the wisest [F]women
Had to do it this way
[C]Cause we were born to be the paw[F]n
In every lover’s game
[C]If you fail to plan, you plan to fai[F]l
Strategy sets the scene for the [C]tale
I’m the wind in our free-flowing [F]sails
And the liquor in our cocktails
[Am]What if I told you
None of [F]it was accidental
And the [G]first night that you saw me
I knew [C]I wanted your bo[G][B]dy
[Am]I laid the groundwork
And [F]then just like clockwork
The [G]dominoes cascaded in a line
**Chorus :**
What if I told you I’m a m[C]astermind
And n[F]ow you’re mine
It was all m[Am]y design
C[G]ause I’m a mas[F]termind
[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
And [Em]I [F]swear
I’m only [G]cryptic and machiavellian
Cause I care
[Am]So I told you none of it [F]was accidental
And the [G]first night that you saw me
No[C]thing was gonna st[G]op m[B]e
[Am]I laid the groundwork
And [F]then saw a wide smirk
On [G]your face, you knew the entire time
**Chorus :**
You knew that I’m a m[C]astermind
And n[F]ow you’re mine
Yeah, all you d[Am]id was smile
C[G]ause[B] I’m a maste[F][C]rmind

I was [C#m]falling for a girl
Who would as[B]k me to come over

Fall as[A]leep dream of you
Then wake up and do nothing about it
