Verse
[Amaj7]
There's a boy who works at Starbucks
[Bm]
Who is very inspirational.
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7] [Bm] [E]
He is very inspirational because 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#] [A7] [D] [Dm]
And I said "My name is Kristen, and thank you for the extra foam…"
[Amaj7]
And he said his name was Taylor,
[Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
Which provides the inspiration for this poem:
Chorus
[A] [B7] [D]
Taylor the latte boy,
[D] [A] [D] [B7]
Bring me java, bring me joy!

Oh Taylor the latte boy,

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] [Bm]
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#] [A7] [D] [Dm]
I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim…"
[Amaj7] [Bm] [E] [Amaj7]
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because 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…
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.
