[Intro]
Am A Am A
A D A
[Verse 1]
A D A
High and lonesome out on Times Square
A D A
Haven't got a dime, ain't got a prayer
A D A
Deliver us, Lord, from this golden calf
A D A
People only want what they cannot have
[Chorus]
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
That's the fruit that you'd better not taste
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
You've got one life that you'd better not waste
[Verse 2]
A D A
How can I walk with this ball and chain?
A D A
How can I land in this hurricane?
A D A
Or is this part of man's evolution
A D A
To be torn between truth and illusion?
[Chorus]
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
That's the route that you'd better not take
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
Just watch out for the sign of the snake
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
A D A
Little brother got caught in the web
A D A
He ran off to join the living dead
A D A
Been through the mill, seen the cross on the hill
A D A
He sold his soul just for a thrill
[Chorus]
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
In hot pursuit out on a limb
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
Your whole world is closing in
[Verse 4]
A D A
You got the picture but missed the drift
A D A
About me workin' the graveyard shift
A D A
I never went in for no burglary
A D A
But there's a stranger inside of me
[Chorus]
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
Don't you shoot the whole works away
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
It's too high of a price to pay

[Verse 5]
A D A
How can you hear with a bad connection?
A D A
You can't see when there's no reception
A D A
Keep your distance, don't fool with taboo
A D A
'Cause it'll overtake and undertake you
[Chorus]
B
Forbidden fruit
D E A D A
That's the fruit that you'd better not taste
B
Forbidden fruit
