[G] My little girl [D] met a new friend [C] just the other day
On [G] the playground at [D] school, between [C] the tires and the swing
But [G]
she [D] came home with tear [C]-filled eyes
And [G] she said to me, Daddy, [C] Alyssa 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 [D] when I said, You can [C] tell me
[G] And she said, [C] Alyssa [G]
lies to [D] the classroom
Alyssa [C]
lies every day at [D] school
[G] Alyssa lies to [D] the teachers
As [C] she tries to cover every [D] bruise
[G] My little girl [D] laid her head down [C] 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 to [D] the classroom
[C] Alyssa lies every day [D] at school
[G] Alyssa lies to [D] 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 calm [D] her and her fears
[E] I [Em]
knew just what it [C] was I had to do
[G] But when we got to school on Monday I [D] heard the love news
[D] [G] My little girl [D] 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 [D] felt the tears run down [C] my face
[G] And I told her that [D] Alyssa [C] wouldn't be at school today
Cause [G] she doesn't lie [D] in the classroom
She [C] doesn't lie anymore [D] at school
[G] Alyssa lies [D] with Jesus
[C] Because there's nothing anyone [D] would do
[G]
