Lyrics

There’s a (A)boy who works at Star bucks who is (D6)ver y in spi ra tion al.

He is (Bm7)ver y in spi ra tion al be (A)cause of man y things.

I come (A)in at eight e le ven and he (D6)smiles and says “How are you?” When he (Bm7)smiles and says “How are you?” I could swear my heart grows (Esus4)wings.

So to (F#m7)day at eight e le ven I de (A7sus4)ci ded I should meet him.

I de (D)ci ded I should meet him in a (G7)pro per, for mal way.

So to (F#m7)day at eight e le ven, when he (A7sus4)smiled and said “How are (A7)you?” I said (D)“Fine” and “My name’s Kris tin.” And he (Bm7)soft ly an swered (CN.C.)“Hey.” And I (F#m7)said “My name is Kris tin” and (A)“Thank you for the ex tra

foam.”

And he (A)said his name was Tay lor, which pro (D)vides the in spi ra tion for this poem.

(A)Tay (C#7)lor the (D)lat te boy.

(Bm7)Bring me Ja va, (D)bring me joy.

Oh, (F#m)Tay lor the (B7)lat te boy I (A)love him, I (E7sus4)love him, I love (D)him.

So I’d (Bbsus2)like to get my nerve up to re (Eb)cite my po em, mu si cal.

He would (Cm7)like the fact it’s mu si cal be (Bb)cause he plays gui tar.

So to (Bbsus2)day at eight e le ven Tay lor (Eb)told me he was play ing in a (Cm7)band down in the vil lage, in the base ment of a (F7add13)bar.

And he (Gm7)smooth ly flipped the le ver to pre (Bb7sus4)pare my dou ble lat te.

But for (Eb)me he made it tri ple and he (Ab7)did n’t think I knew.

But I (Gm7)saw him flip the le ver and for (Bb7sus4)me he made it (Bb7)tri ple.

And I (Eb)knew that tri ple lat te meant that (Cm7)Tay lor loved me (F7add13)too.

I said (Gm7)“What time are you play ing?” and (Gm7)“Thank you for the ex tra

skim.”

He said (Bb)“Keep the three fif ty five.” be (F7sus4)cause this tri ple (F7add13)lat te was on (Bb)him.

(Bb)Tay (D7)lor the (Eb)lat te boy.

(Cm7)Bring me Ja va, (Eb)bring me joy.

Oh, (Gm7)Tay lor the (E)lat te boy.

I (Bb)love him, I (Eb)love him, I love (Bb)him.

(D7sus4)I used to be the kind of girl who’d run when (C7)love rushed to (F)ward her.

But (D7sus4)fi nal ly a (D7)voice whis pered (Gm7)“Love can be yours if you (C7sus4)step up to the (C7)coun ter and (Cm7)or (F9)der.”

(Bb)Tay (D7)lor the (Eb)lat te boy.

(Cm7)Bring me Ja va, bring me (F)joy.

Oh, (Gm7)Tay lor the (E)lat te boy.

I (Bb)love him, I (Eb)love him, I love (Bbsus4)him.

(Ebmaj7)So ma ny (Eb6)years my heart has wait ed.

(D7)Who’d have thought that (C)love could (D7)be so caf fei (C7)na (Ebdim7)ted?

(Bb)Tay (D7)lor the (Gm7)lat te (C7)boy.

I (Bb)love him, I (Eb)love him, I love

(G7)him.

(C9)I (Bb)love him, I (Eb)love him, I (Eb)love

(Bb)him.
