Taylor The Latte Boy Tab

by Kristin Chenoweth


Hi! I know this is far off from perfect
but hey, it's a start. This is as far
as I could go.

Maybe some of you guys could work on it 
to improve it?

No capo needed.


 
There's a boy who works at Starbucks 
       
Who is very inspirational. 
                                        
He is very inspirational because of many things. 


                                   
I come in at 8:11, and he smiles and says, "How are you?" 
                            
When he smiles and says, "How are you?" 
                             
I could swear my heart grows wings! 


     
So today at 8:11
    
I decided I should meet him
    
I decided I should meet him
                 
In a proper formal way.


                                 
So today at 8:11 when he smiled and said "How are you?" 
         
I said "Fine, and my name’s Kristin"
                        
And he softly answered, "Hey." 
                                                           
And I said "My name is Kristen, and thank you for the extra foam…" 
       
And he said his name was Taylor, 
                                     
Which provides the inspiration for this poem: 

          
Taylor the latte boy, 
                     
Bring me java, bring me joy! 
            
Oh Taylor the latte boy, 
                  
I love him, I love him, I love him… 


So I’d like to get my nerve up 
To recite my poem musical. 
He would like the fact it’s musical 
Because he plays guitar. 
So today at 8:11, Taylor told me he was playing 
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! 
I said, "What time are you playing? And thank you for the extra skim…" 
He said, "Keep the $3.55," because this triple latte was on him. 

Taylor the latte boy, 
Bring me java, bring me joy! 
Oh Taylor the latte boy, 
I love him, I love him, I love him… 

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."

Taylor, the latte boy
Bring me java, bring me joy
Oh Taylor the latte boy
I love him, I love him, I love him. 

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.
