Taylor The Latte Boy

Amaj7
There's a boy who works at Starbucks
       Bm
Who is very inspirational.
      Bm         E         Amaj7 
He is very inspirational because 
              Bm E
of many things.
 Amaj7                    Bm
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and
 says, "How are you?"
        Bm
When he smiles and says, "How are 
you?"
        Bm                   E
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
     Bm            E
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"
       Bm                E
And he softly answered, "Hey."
      F#                           
And I said "My name is Kristen, and
 A7                      D   Dm
 thank you for the extra foam…"
       Amaj7
And he said his name was Taylor,
        Bm              E         
Which provides the inspiration for
      Amaj7

A  B7        D
Taylor the latte boy,
D        A     D        B7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
   F#         D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7        Bm          Amaj7
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.
      Bm         E         Amaj7
He would like the fact it’s musical
                  Bm E
Because he plays guitar.
Amaj7                    Bm
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he 
was playing
      Bm         E         Amaj7 
In a band down in the village in 
              Bm
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#                           
I said, "What time are you playing?
 A7                      D   Dm
 And thank you for the extra skim…"
       Amaj7        Bm            
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because
  E               Amaj7
 this triple latte was on him.

[Chorus]
A  B7        D
Taylor the latte boy,
D        A     D        B7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
   F#         D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7        Bm          Amaj7
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]
A  B7        D
Taylor the latte boy,
D        A     D        B7
Bring me java, bring me joy!
   F#         D
Oh Taylor the latte boy,
Amaj7        Bm          Amaj7
I love him, I love him, I love him…

[Other]

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.
