Verse 1:
Bb I know the Bible isn't perfect
Bb 'Cause it left one person out
Bb 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
FBb But will you just hear me out"
Pre-Chorus:
Bb He said, "I wouldn't lie
Eb You should not go to that tree
FBb 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"
FBb There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
Chorus:
BbEbFBb He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake

FGmFEb Oh, what a waste
FBb To have everything and give it all away"
