CHORDS: Taylor Swift – Mastermind Chords on Piano & Ukulele

These are Mastermind chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[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

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                     F
 So 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,
 saw a wild smirk
   G
On your face, you knew the entire time
[Chorus]
                    C
You knew that I'm a mastermind
    F
And now you're mine
              Am
Yeah, all you did was smile
 G           F         C
'Cause I'm a mastermind
