[Intro]
 
Eb Ab Cm Bb Ab Eb
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Eb     Ab
I hold you
                         Cm   Bb
I hold you closer then I ever knew
Ab      Eb
I could do
    Eb     Ab
But I'm confused
                             Cm       Bb
I thought I'd recognize when love was true
    Ab     Eb
But I'm confused
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
     Eb
Am I ready for love?
   Cm
Or maybe just a best friend
Ab
Should there be a difference?
Bb
Do you have instructions?
Eb
Maybe I'm stuck
   Cm
On what I see on TV
Ab
I grew up on Disney
    Bb
But this don't feel like Disney
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
Cm        Ab              Eb
You say I turned out fine
            Bb                Cm
I think I'm still turning out
          Ab              Eb
You say I turned out fine
            Bb                Cm
I think I'm still turning out
Ab
I think I'm still turning out
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Eb    Ab
In my mind
                                   Cm           Bb
I thought the birds would sing and sparks would fly
    Ab        Eb
But it's just quiet
Eb   Ab
Am I cruel?
                    Cm    Bb
Or am I ignorant or was I fooled
       Ab        Eb
By the stories I knew?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
     Eb
Am I ready for love?
   Cm
Or maybe just a best friend
Ab
Should there be a difference?
Bb
Do you have instructions?
Eb
Maybe I'm stuck
   Cm
On what I see on TV
Ab
I grew up on Disney
    Bb
But this don't feel like Disney
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Cm        Ab              Eb
You say I turned out fine
            Bb                Cm
I think I'm still turning out
          Ab              Eb
You say I turned out fine
            Bb                Cm
I think I'm still turning out
           Ab           Eb
I hope you stick around
            Bb            Cm
We're gonna figure it out
          Ab           Eb
Who can I turn to now?
         Bb
When I'm still turning out
Ab
When I'm still turning out
 
 
Eb Ab Eb Bb
 
 
[Bridge] (x4)
 
Eb                    Ab
I'm a little kid, and so are you
Eb                         Bbsus4 Bb
Don't you go and grow up before I do
Eb                    Ab
I'm a little kid with so much doubt
       Eb                          Bbsus4 Bb
Do you want to be there to see how I turn out?
 
 
Ab
 
 
[Outro]
 
                            Eb
Cause I'm still turning out

thanks for making this, wanted one since they first put the song out on Spotify about a week a go, I'm not sure about the Gm though, it sounds slightly off to me though I can't say why exactly

Great chart, but the Gm should be a Cm

I find that this tab is easier to play through with a capo on the first fret, with these chords transposed down a step (D, G, A, etc.). Also, instead of Gm, I play a Bm chord shape with the capo. Great job, thanks! :)
