Intro: G D C X2

My little girl met a new friend just the other day
G D C
On the playground at school, between the tires and the swings
G D C
She came home with tearfilled eyes
G D C
And she said to me daddy, Alyssa lies
G D C
Well I just brushed it off at first
G D C
Cuz I didn’t know how much my little girl had been hurt
G D C
Or the things that she had seen
G D C
I wasn’t ready when I said you can tell me (she said)
G D
Alyssa lies, in the classroom
C D
Alyssa lies, everyday at school
G D
Alyssa lies to the teacher
C D
As she tries to cover every bruise
G D C
When my little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
G D C
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
G D C
Lord bless my mom and my dad
G D C
And my new friend Alyssa, Lord I know she needs you bad (Cuz)

Alyssa lies, in the classroom

Alyssa lies, everyday at school

As she tries to cover every bruise
Em G
I had the worst night of sleep in years
D C
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
Em G
And I knew exactly what I had to do
D C
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
G D C
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
G D C
And the lump in my throat grew bigger with every question that she asked
G D C
Till I felt the tears run down my face
G D C
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn’t be at school today
G D
Cuz she doesn’t lie in the classroom

She doesn’t lie anymore at school

Alyssa lies with Jesus

Because there’s nothing, anyone could do

Tears filled my eyes
