[C]Or muster[G] up the n[F]erve to tell her
I’ll never forget her
And sh[G]e’ll always have a par[F]t of me

I was [Am]falling for a girl
Who would as[G]k me to come over
J[F]ust for a day, when her parents were away
Now [Am]all I can do is lay[G] in my room
Fall as[F]leep dream of you
Then wake up and do nothing about it
(I [Am]fell for a boy)
(who could [G]never ever let me)
(walk [F]home that way)
(’cause you gotta be safe)
(so [Am]hold back your views)
(we’re [G]both leaving soon_
(I can’t [F]fall back on you)
(’cause that’s not what I do and)
(I [Am]fell for a boy)
She hates it when I shout these words
(who could [G]never ever let me)
But, I still sing for you
(walk [F]home that way)

**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

[Am]On a dark desert highway
[E]Cool wind in my hair
[G]Warm smell of colitas
[D]Rising up through the air
[F]Up ahead in the distance
[C]I saw a shimmering light
[Dm]My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
[E]I had to stop for the night
[Am]There she stood in the doorway
[E]I heard the mission bell
[G]And I was thinking to myself
This could be [D]heaven or this could be hell
[F]Then she lit up a candle
[C]And she showed me the way
Th[Dm]ere were voices down the corridor
[E]I thought I heard them say
**Chorus :**
[F]Welcome to the hotel Californi[C]a
Such a lo[E]vely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lo[Am]vely face
[F]Plenty of room at the hotel Californ[C]ia
Any ti[Dm]me of year (any time of year)
You can [E]find it here
[Am]Her mind is tiffany-twisted
[E]She got the Mercedes bends
[G]She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
[D]That she calls friends
[F]How they dance in the courtyard
Swe[C]et summer sweat.
[Dm]Some dance to remember
[E]Some dance to forget
[Am]So I called up the captain
[E]Please bring me my wine
He said, we [G]haven t had that spirit here since
[D]Nineteen sixty nine
[F]And still those voices are calling
From fa[C]r away
[Dm]Wake you up in the middle of the night
[E]Just to hear them say

[F]Welcome to the hotel Californ[C]ia
Such a lo[E]vely place (such a lovely place)
Such a [Am]lovely face
They’re [F]living it up at
The hotel Cali[C]fornia
What a [Dm]nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your al[e]ibis
[Am]Mirrors on the ceiling
[E]The pink champagne on ice, And she said
[G]We are all just prisoners here
[D]Of our own device
[F]And in the master s chambers
[C]They gathered for the feast
[Dm]The stab it with their steely knives,
But they ju[E]st can t kill the beast
[Am]Last thing I remember, I was
[E]Running for the door
[G]I had to find the passage back
To the [D]place I was before
[F]Relax, said the night man
We are [C]programmed to receive
[Dm]You can checkout any time you like
[E]But you can never leave!
