Mastermind chords by Taylor Swift (Ver. 2)

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: E

♫ Intro:



♫ Verse 1:
E                A
 Once upon a time, the planets and the fates
          E
And all the stars aligned
             A
You and I ended up in the same room

At the same time

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E                 A
 And the touch of a hand lit the fuse
                E
Of a chain reaction of counter moves
             A
To assess the equation of you

Checkmate
I couldn't lose


♫ Chorus:
C#m              A
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
      B
In the first night that you saw me
    E
Nothing was gonna stop me
C#m               A
I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork
  B            E
The dominoes cascaded in the line
             E
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
  A
And now you're mine
      C#m
It was all by design
       A
'Cause I'm a mastermind


♫ Verse 2:
E             A
 You see, all the wisest women

Had to do it this way
E                A
 'Cause we were born to be the pawn

In every lover's game


♫ Pre-Chorus:
E                 A
 If you fail to plan, you plan to fail
                E
Strategy sets the scene for the tail
                  A
I'm the wind and I'm free, flowing sails
    N.C.
In the liquor in our cocktails


♫ Chorus:
C#m              A
 What if I told you none of it was accidental?
      B
In the first night that you saw me
    E
Nothing was gonna stop me
C#m               A
I laid the groundwork, and then

Just like clockwork
  B            E
The dominoes cascaded in the line
             E
What if I told you I'm a mastermind?
  A
And now you're mine
      C#m
It was all my design
       A
'Cause I'm a mastermind


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

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

This is the first time I've felt the need to confess
  E  A
And I swear
     B
I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian

'Cause I can


♫ Chorus:
C#m            A
 So I told you none of it was accidental?
       B
In the first night that you saw me
    E
Nothing was gonna stop me
C#m               A
I laid the groundwork, and then

Saw a white smirk
  B               E
On your face, you knew the entire time
          E
You knew that I'm a mastermind?
  A
And now you're mine
       C#m
Yeah, all you did was smile
       A      E
'Cause I'm a mastermind
