Queen's Gambit

Verse 1

Two squares forward, that's the deal

Offer up a pawn and see what's real

You can take it if you dare

Every gift I give comes with a snare

Pre-Chorus

Pawns fall quiet on the board

Every loss is a reward

Sacrifice to lure you in

That's the only way I win

Chorus

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

Take the bait I left for you

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

I've already planned the coup

Give it up, give it up, watch me take the center

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

I don't lose, I only enter

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) Sacrifice the pawn

(Oh-oh) Then I take the throne

Verse 2

You think you're clever taking space

But I've mapped out every single face

Knight retreats and bishop slides

I've got patience, I've got time

Pre-Chorus

Trade a rook to bait your queen

Sharpest moves you've never seen

Count the pieces, count the cost

You were beaten when you lost

Chorus

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

Take the bait I left for you

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

I've already planned the coup

Give it up, give it up, watch me take the center

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

I don't lose, I only enter

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) Sacrifice the pawn

(Oh-oh) Then I take the throne

Bridge

One square at a time

Patient as a knife

You moved first

I moved last

Checkmate's just the ending of your life

Chorus

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

Take the bait I left for you

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

I've already planned the coup

Give it up, give it up, watch me take the center

Queen's gambit, queen's gambit

I don't lose, I only enter

Post-Chorus

(Oh-oh) Sacrifice the pawn

(Oh-oh) Then I take the throne

(Oh-oh) Then I take the throne
