[Verse 1]
I know the BGible isn't perfect
G'Cause it left one person out
GThere was Adam, there was Eve
GAnd there was someone else around
Yeah, I thCink his name was Steve
DAnd he was passing through toGwn
GWhen he heard a snake a-whispering
GTo Adam in the garden
G"Take the fruit, it's good for you"
GSteve said, "I beg your pardon
I kCnow it's not my business
BDut will you just hear me oGut"
[Pre-Chorus]
He Gsaid, "I wouldn't lie
You should nCot go to that tree
The seDrpent knows the apple grows from a foGrbidden seed
Oh, you wGant what you can't have
But you've got aCll the things you need"
There was AdDam, there was Eve, and there was SGteve
[Chorus]
He said, "AGdam, Cdon't be Dfooled by the snGake
DCon't risk it Dall for a tGaste
DOh, Emwhat Da wastCe
To have eDverything and give it all aGway"
[Verse 2]
GAdam looked around and as he wrestled with his fate
GSteve and Eve rolled up their sleeves to wrestle with that snake
In the mCidst of all the chaos
StDeve was still screaming oGut
[Pre-Chorus]
He sGaid, "I wouldn't lie
You should nCot go to that tree
The seDrpent knows the apple grows from a foGrbidden seed
Oh, you Gwant what you can't have
But you've got aCll the things you need"
There was ADdam, there was Eve, and there was SGteve

But eGven when I have it all
I Gwant what's out of reach
Maybe I shCould learn my lesson
DLike Steve was talkin' to mGe

[Verse 1]

I know the Bible isn't perfect

'Cause it left one person out

There was Adam, there was Eve

And there was someone else around

Yeah, I think his name was Steve

D G

And he was passing through town

When he heard a snake a-whispering

To Adam in the garden

"Take the fruit, it's good for you"

Steve said, "I beg your pardon

I know it's not my business

D G

But will you just hear me out"

[Pre-Chorus]

He said, "I wouldn't lie

You should not go to that tree

D G

The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed

Oh, you want what you can't have

But you've got all the things you need"

D G

There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve

[Chorus]

G C D G

He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake

C D G

Don't risk it all for a taste

D Em D C

Oh, what a waste

D G

To have everything and give it all away"

[Verse 2]

Adam looked around and as he wrestled with his fate

Steve and Eve rolled up their sleeves to wrestle with that snake

In the midst of all the chaos

D G

Steve was still screaming out

[Pre-Chorus]

You should not go to that tree

[Bridge]

Sometimes I feel like Adam

'Cause I've got more than I need

But even when I have it all

I want what's out of reach

Maybe I should learn my lesson

D G

Like Steve was talkin' to me

[Pre-Chorus]

He said, "I wouldn't lie

You should not go to that tree

The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed

Oh, you want what you can't have

But you've got all the things you need"

There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve

He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
