My little girl met a new friend 
C5 
Just the other day 
G5 D5 
On a playgroud as school 
C5 
Between the tires and the swings 
G5 D5 C5 
But she came home with tear-filled eyes 
G5 D5 C5 
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies" 
 

G5 D5 C5 
I just brushed it off at first 
G5 D5 C5 
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl'd been hurt 
G5 D5 C5 
Or the things she had seen 
G5 D5 C5 
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me 
 
And she said 
 

G5 
Alyssa lies 
D5 
To the classroom 
C5 
Alyssa lies 
D5 
Everyday at school 
G5 
Alyssa lies 
D5 
to the teacher 
C5 
As she tries to cover every bruise 
 

G5 D5 
My little girl laid her head down 
C5 
That night to go to sleep 
G5 D5 
As i stepped out the room I heard her say 
C5 
A prayer so soft and sweet 
G5 D5 C5 
God bless my mom and my dad 
G5 D5 
And my new friend Alyssa 
C5 
I know she needs it bad 
 

G5 
Because Alyssa lies 
D5 
To the classroom 
C5 
Alyssa lies 
D5 
Every day at school 
G5 
Alyssa Lies 
D5 
To the teachers 
C5 
As she tries to cover every bruise 
 

E5 C5 
I had the worst night of sleep in years 
G5 D5 
As i tried to think of a way to calm her fears 
E5 C5 
I knew just what it was I had to do 
G5 D5 
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news 
 

G5 D5 C5 
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad 
G5 D5 
The lump in my throat grew bigger 
C5 
With every question that she asked 
G5 D5 C5 
Until I felt the tears run down my face 
G5 D5 C5 
And i told her Alyssa wouldn't be at school today 
 

G5 
She doesn't lie 
D5 
in the classroom 
C5 
She doesn't lie 
D5 
Anymore at school 
G5 
Alyssa lies 
D5 
With Jesus 
C5 D5 
Because ther's nothing anyone would do 
 

G5 D5 C5 
Tears filled my eyes 
E5 D5 C5 
When my little girl asked me why 
G5 D5 C5 
Alyssa lies 
G5 D5 C5 
Daddy tell me why 
G5 
Alyssa lies
