It Only Takes A Taste (from Waitress The Musical)

You remind me of a (Cm)girl I once knew.

(Bm7)God, by now she's well in middle age,

(Bbdim)probably (Am)fortyone, or (D7)fortytwo.

(C)She was a waitress at a (Cm)shop I used to frequent quite a (Bm7)lot.

Nice teeth and small hands and (Bbdim)snuck me goodies I couldn't afford then.

(Am7)She was sweet to (D)me, reminds me of (C)you.

(Cmaj7)She'd bake the pies fresh ev'ry day (Cm(maj7))like you,

I guess, but I must say,

(Bm7)if pies were books, yours would be

(Bbdim)Shakespeare's letters.

(Am7)You remind me of (D7)her, but better.

(Em)It only (C)takes a taste when it's something special.

(Em)It only (C)takes a taste when you know it's good.

(G)Sometimes one (Em)bite is more than enough to (C)know you want more of the thing you just got a (G)taste of.

(C)That reminds me of a thing (Cm)we would say,

(Bm7)me and my mama, in the (Bbdim)kitchen when we'd bake.

She'd say, (Am7)"Jenna, you could tell the whole (D)story with a taste."

(C)No, that's exactly what I (Cm)mean.

I swear that as the (Bm7)flavors mixed and melted,

I could (Bbdim)hear the sirens sing.

It was (Am7)truly something special.

One (D)taste and I want the whole (G)thing.

(D)I must say it felt like I was (F6)carried away,

intoxicated, (Cmaj9)made me escape the room I was (D)in.

(Fmaj9)I can't help but wonder how your (C)hands must have felt creating such a (Eb)masterful thing.

Just one (D)bite (Gm)caused all that (A)wondering?

(Em)It only (C)takes a taste.

(Em)It only (C)takes a taste when you (B)know it's good.

(G)Sometimes one (D)bite is (Em)more than (A9)enough

to (C)know you want more of the (Cm)thing you just got a taste (G)of.
