Amaj7
There's a boy who works at Starbucks
Bm
Who is very inspirational.
BmEAmaj7BmE
He is very inspirational because of many things.
Amaj7Bm
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
Bm
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
BmE
I could swear my heart grows wings!
F#
So today at 8:11
A7
I decided I should meet him
D
I decided I should meet him
BmE
In a proper formal way.
F#A7
So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
D
I said "Fine, and my name’s Kristin"
BmE
And he softly answered, "Hey."
F#A7DDm
And I said "My name is Kristen, and thank you for the extra foam…"
Amaj7
And he said his name was Taylor,
BmEAmaj7
Which provides the inspiration for this poem:
[Chorus]
AB7D
Taylor the latte boy,
DADB7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
F#D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7BmAmaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…
[Verse 2]
Amaj7
So I’d like to get my nerve up
Bm
To recite my poem musical.
BmEAmaj7
He would like the fact it’s musical
BmE
Because he plays guitar.
Amaj7Bm
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
BmEAmaj7Bm
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar.
And he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte,
But for me he made it triple! And he didn’t think I knew
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple,
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too!
F#A7DDm
I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim…"
Amaj7BmEAmaj7
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because this triple latte was on him.
[Chorus]
AB7D
Taylor the latte boy,
DADB7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
F#D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7BmAmaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…
[Bridge]
I used to be the kind of girl who'd run when love rushed toward her.
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours, if you step up to the counter, and order."
[Chorus]
AB7D
Taylor the latte boy,
DADB7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
F#D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7BmAmaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…
[Outro]
So many years my heart has waited,
Who’d have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
Taylor, the latte boy,
I love him, I love him, I love him.
I love him, I love him, I love him.
