Alyssa Lies Jason Michael Carroll
My [G]little girl met a [D]new friend
Just the[Cadd9] other day
On the [G]playground at scho[D]ol
Between the [Cadd9]tires and the swings
[G]But she came [D]home with tear-filled [Cadd9]eyes
[G]And she said to me "[D]Daddy, Alyssa [Cadd9]Lies"
[G]I just [D]brushed it off at [Cadd9]first
[G]Cause I didn't [D]know how much my [Cadd9]little girl'd been hurt
[G]Or the [D]things she had [Cadd9]seen
I wasn't [G]ready when I [D]said you can tell [Cadd9]me
And she said
Alyssa [G]Lies
To the [D]classroom
Alyssa [Cadd9]lies
Everyday at [D]school
Alyssa [G]lies
To the [D]teacher
As she [Cadd9]tries to cover every [D]bruise
My [G]little girl laid her [D]head down
That [Cadd9]night to go to sleep
As I [G]stepped out the room I [D]heard her say
A [Cadd9]prayer so soft and sweet
[G]God bless [D]my mom and my [Cadd9]dad
And [G]my new friend [D]Alyssa
I [Cadd9]know she needs it bad
Because Alyssa [G]lies
To the [D]classroom
Alyssa [Cadd9]lies
Every day at [D]school
Alyssa [G]lies
To the [D]teachers
As she [Cadd9]tries to cover every [D]bruise
[Em]I had the worst night of [Cadd9]sleep in years
As I [G]tried to think of a way to calm her [D]fears
[Em]I knew just what it was I [Cadd9]had to do
But when we [G]got to school on Monday I heard the [D]news
[G]My little girl asked [D]me why every[Cadd9]body looked so sad
The [G]lump in my throat grew [D]bigger
With every [Cadd9]question that she asked
[G]Until I felt the [D]tears run down my [Cadd9]face
And I [G]told her that [D]Alyssa wouldn't [Cadd9]be at school today
She doesn't [G]lie
In the [D]classroom
She doesn't [Cadd9]lie
Anymore at [D]school
Alyssa [G]lies
With [D]Jesus
Because there's [Cadd9]nothing anyone would [D]do
[G]Tears [D]filled my [Cadd9]eyes
When my [Em]little girl [D]asked me [Cadd9]why
Alyssa [G]lies[D] [Cadd9]
Daddy tell me [G]why[D] [Cadd9]
Alyssa lies[G]
