Verse 1:
Bb
I know the Bible isn't perfect

'Cause it left one person out

There was Adam, there was Eve
Bb
And there was someone else around
Eb
Yeah, I think his name was Steve
F
And he was passing through town
Bb
When he heard a snake a-whispering
Bb
To Adam in the garden
Bb
"Take the fruit, it's good for you"
Bb
Steve said, "I beg your pardon
Eb
I know it's not my business
F Bb
But will you just hear me out"
Pre-Chorus:
Bb
He said, "I wouldn't lie
Eb
You should not go to that tree
F Bb
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
Bb
Oh, you want what you can't have
Eb
But you've got all the things you need"
F Bb
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
Chorus:
Bb Eb F Bb

Bridge:
Bb
Sometimes I feel like Adam

'Cause I've got more than I need

Maybe I should learn my lesson
F Bb
Like Steve was talkin' to me
