My little girl [D] met a new [C] friend just the other day
[C] between the tires and the swing
with tear [C]-filled eyes
Alyssa [C] lies
[G] Well, I [D] just brushed it off [C] at first
[G] I [D] didn't know how much [C] my little girl had been hurt
[G] Or [D] the things she [C] had seen
I [G] wasn't ready when I said, you can [C] tell me
[C] between the tires and the swing
with tear [C]-filled eyes
Alyssa [C] lies
[G] Well, I [D] just brushed it off [C] at first
[G] I [D] didn't know how much [C] my little girl had been hurt
[G] Or [D] the things she [C] had seen
I [G] wasn't ready when I said, you can [C] tell me

_ _ _ _ My little girl [D] met a new [C] friend just the other day
[G] On the playground at [D] school, [C] between the tires and the swing
_ [G] But she [D] came home with tear [C]-filled eyes
_ [G] And she said to me, [D] Daddy, Alyssa [C] lies _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] Well, I [D] just brushed it off [C] at first
Cause _ [G] I [D] didn't know how much [C] my little girl had been hurt
_ [G] Or [D] the things she [C] had seen
I [G] wasn't ready when I said, you can [C] tell me
[G]
And she [C] said, Alyssa lies to [D] the classroom
_ [C] Alyssa lies every day [D] at school
_ [G] Alyssa lies to [D] the teachers
_ [C] As she [G] tries to cover [D] every bruise
_ [G] My little girl [D] laid her head [C] down that night to go to sleep
[G] As I stepped out the [D] room I heard her say [C] a prayer so soft and sweet
_ [G] God [D] bless my mom and [C] my dad
And [G] my new friend [D] Alyssa
[C] I know she needs you bad because [G] Alyssa lies [D] to the classroom
_ [C] Alyssa lies every [D] day at school
_ [G] Alyssa lies [D] to the teachers
[C] As she tries to cover [D] every bruise
_ _ [Em] I had the worst [C] night of sleeping years
[G] As I tried to think of ways to [D] calm her and her fears
_ [Em] I knew just what it [C] was I had to do
But [G] when we got to school on Monday I [D] heard the news _ _ _ _
[G] My little [D] girl asked me why [C] everybody looked so sad
[G] The lump in my [D] throat grew bigger [C] with every question that she asked
_ [G] Until I felt the tears run [C] down my face
[G] And I told her [D] that Alyssa [C] wouldn't be at school today
Cause _ _ [G] she doesn't lie _ [D] in the classroom
She [C] doesn't lie _ [D] anymore at school
_ [G] Alyssa lies [D] with Jesus
[C] Because there's nothing [D] anyone would do
_ [G] _ [D] Tears fill [C] my eyes
[Em] When my little [D] girl asked [C] me why _ [G] Alyssa lied
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ Daddy [G] tell me why _ [D] Alyssa _ _ _ [Bm] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] lied
