Taylor the Latte Boy: Kristin Chenoweth
Tabbed by Robin Young
([E])
[Amaj7]
There's a boy who works at Starbucks
[D6]/[A]
Who is very inspirational
[Bm7] [D/E] [Amaj7] [D/E]
He is very inspirational because of many things
[Amaj7] [D6]/[A]
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?"
[Bm7]
When he smiles and says, "How are you?"
[Bm7] [E7] [C#7]
I could swear my heart grows wings
[F#7]
So today at 8:11
[G/A]
I decided I should meet him
[Dmaj7]
I decided I should meet him
[G7]
In a proper, formal way
[F#7] [G/A]
So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?"
[Dmaj7]
I said "Fine, and my name’s Kristin"
[Bm7] [D/E] [C#7]
And he softly answered, "Hey"
[F#7]
And I said "My name is Kristen,
[A/E] [F#m]/[D#] [Fmaj7] [G7]
And thank you for the extra foam"
[A/E]
And he said his name was Taylor,
[D6]/[E] [D/A] [Amaj7] [D/A] [Amaj7]
Which provides the inspiration for this poem
[Amaj7] [C#7] [Dmaj7]
Taylor, the latte boy
[Bm7] [A/C#] [Dmaj7] [D/E] [Db7]/[F]
Bring me java, bring me joy
[F#m7] [Amaj7]/[E] [B/D#]
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy
[A/E] [D/E] [D/A] [A] [F7sus]
I love him, I love him, I love him
[MODULATION]
[Bbmaj7]
So I’d like to get my nerve up
[Eb/Bb]
To recite my poem musical
[Cm7]
He would like the fact it’s musical
[F7sus] [Bbmaj7] [F7sus]
Because he plays guitar
[Bbmaj7] [Eb/Bb]
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing
[Cm7] [Cm7] [F7] [D7/F#]
In a band down in the village in the basement of a bar
[Gm7] Bb7sus
And he smoothly flipped the lever to prepare my double latte
[Ebmaj7] [Ab7]
But for me he made it triple, and he didn’t think I knew
[Gm7] Bb7sus
But I saw him flip the lever, and for me he made it triple
[Ebmaj7] [Cm7] [F7sus] [D7]
And I knew that triple latte meant that Taylor loved me too
[Gm7]
I said, "What time are you playing?
Em7b5 [Ebm7] [Ab7]
And thank you for the extra skim"
[Bb/F]
He said, "Keep the $3.55,"
[F7sus] [F7] [Eb/Bb] [Bbmaj7] [Eb/Bb] [Bbmaj7]
Because this triple latte was on him
[Bbmaj7] [D7] [Ebmaj7] [Dm7]
Taylor, the latte boy
[Cm7] [Bb/D] [Eb] [Eb]/[F] [D7]
Bring me java, bring me joy
[Gm7] [Gm7]/[F] [C7]/[E]
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy,
[Bb/F] [Eb]/[F] [Eb/Bb] [Bbmaj7]
I love him, I love him, I love him
[D7sus] [D7] [Gm7] [C7sus] [C7] [Fmaj7]
I used to be the kind of girl who'd run when love rushed toward her
[D7sus] [D7] [Gm7]
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours
[C7sus] [C7] [F7sus] [F7]
If you step up to the counter and order"
[Bbmaj7] [D7] [Ebmaj7] [Dm7]
Taylor, the latte boy
[Cm7] [Bb/D] [Eb] [Eb]/[F] [D7]
Bring me java, bring me joy
[Gm7] [Gm7]/[F] [C7]/[E]
Oh, Taylor, the latte boy,
[Bb/F] [Eb]/[F] [Eb/Bb] [Bbmaj7]
I love him, I love him, I love him
[Ebmaj7] [Eb6] [Dm7] [Bb/D]
So many years my heart has waited
[D7] [A7]/[E] [D7/F#] [Gm7] [Gm7]/[F] [Edim] [Ebm7]
Who’d have thought that love could be so caffeinated?
[Bb/F] [D7/F#] [Gm7] [C7]
Taylor, the latte boy
[Bb/F] [F7sus] [D7/F#] [Gm7]
I love him, I love him, I love him
[C7] [Bb/F] [F7sus] [Eb/Bb] [Bb] [Eb/Bb] [Bb] [Eb/Bb] [Ebm7]/[Bb] [Bb]
I love him, I love him, I love him
