Listening to the beginning of the song carefully, the instrument in the background
seems to be playing this. The capital letters represent when the guitar-picking
starts (ie. pick the 2 on the A augmentedA string when "GROWN" is sung)

E minorEm - "i'm a Grown up..."
C majorC - "it's been Like this.."
G+G - "you're Questioning.."
D MajorD - "and Answering.."
From what I can hear, it actually seems like E minorEm is picked through to "you're
- then C majorC is played, but it just doesn't sound right when playing it totally acoustic. But if you
to play it with the
song itself, that's what it sounds like. For the purposes of these tabs, I think it
better utilising all 4 chords.
Either strum, or finger-pick. In the first verse, each chord is picked twice before
(utilising the previously mentioned 4 chords).
Remember, mix/mash it up as much as you like.
