My little girl [D] met a new friend [C] just the other day
[G] On the playground at [D] school
Between [C] the tires and the swing
But [G] 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
[G] Cause 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 tries [G] 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 to [D] the classroom
[C] Alyssa lies every [D] day 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 fear
[E] [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 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 [D] anyone would do
