In the original Alec Benjamin has his capo on the 9th fret, but - since most people unfortunately do not
have his voice range - I recommend putting it on the 4th.

[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
I know the Bible isn't perfect
D
'Cause it left one person out
D
There was Adam, there was Eve
D
And there was someone else around
G
Yeah, I think his name was Steve
A D
And he was passing through town
D
When he heard a snake a-whispering
D
To Adam in the garden
D
"Take the fruit, it's good for you"
D
Steve said, "I beg your pardon
G
I know it's not my business
A D
But will you just hear me out"
[Pre-Chorus]
D
He said, "I wouldn't lie
G
You should not go to that tree
A D
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
D
Oh, you want what you can't have
G
But you've got all the things you need"
A D
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
[Chorus]
D G A D
He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
G A D
Don't risk it all for a taste
A Bm A G
Oh, what a waste
A D
To have everything and give it all away"
[Verse 2]
D D
Adam looked around and as he wrestled with his fate
D D
Steve and Eve rolled up their sleeves to wrestle with that snake
G
In the midst of all the chaos
A D
Steve was still screaming out
[Pre-Chorus]
D
He said, "I wouldn't lie
G
You should not go to that tree
A D
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
D
Oh, you want what you can't have
G
But you've got all the things you need"
A D
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
[Chorus]
D G A D
He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
G A D
Don't risk it all for a taste
A Bm A G
Oh, what a waste
A D
To have everything and give it all away"
[Bridge]
D
Sometimes I feel like Adam
D
'Cause I've got more than I need
D
But even when I have it all
D
I want what's out of reach
G
Maybe I should learn my lesson
A D
Like Steve was talkin' to me
[Pre-Chorus]
D
He said, "I wouldn't lie
G
You should not go to that tree
A D
The serpent knows the apple grows from a forbidden seed
D
Oh, you want what you can't have
G
But you've got all the things you need"
A D
There was Adam, there was Eve, and there was Steve
[Chorus]
D G A D
He said, "Adam, don't be fooled by the snake
G A D
Don't risk it all for a taste
A Bm A G
Oh, what a waste
A D
To have everything and give it all away"
