Alyssa Lies Chords

  			G D 
My little girl met a new friend 
Cadd9 
Just the other day 
G D 
On a playgroud as school 
Cadd9 
Between the tires and the swings 
G D Cadd9 
But she came home with tear-filled eyes 
G D Cadd9 
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies" 
 
G D Cadd9 
I just brushed it off at first 
G D Cadd9 
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl'd been hurt 
G D Cadd9 
Or the things she had seen 
G D Cadd9 
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me 
 
And she said 
 
G 
Alyssa lies 
D 
To the classroom 
Cadd9 
Alyssa lies 
D 
Everyday at school 
G 
Alyssa lies 
D 
to the teacher 
Cadd9 
As she tries to cover every bruise 
 
G D 
My little girl laid her head down 
Cadd9 
That night to go to sleep 
G D 
As i stepped out the room I heard her say 
Cadd9 
A prayer so soft and sweet 
G D Cadd9 
God bless my mom and my dad 
G D 
And my new friend Alyssa 
Cadd9 
I know she needs it bad 
 
G 
Because Alyssa lies 
D 
To the classroom 
Cadd9 
Alyssa lies 
D 
Every day at school 
G 
Alyssa Lies 
D 
To the teachers 
Cadd9 
As she tries to cover every bruise 
 
Em Cadd9 
I had the worst night of sleep in years 
G D 
As i tried to think of a way to calm her fears 
Em Cadd9 
I knew just what it was I had to do 
G D 
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news 
 
G D Cadd9 
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad 
G D 
The lump in my throat grew bigger 
Cadd9 
With every question that she asked 
G D Cadd9 
Until I felt the tears run down my face 
G D Cadd9 
And i told her Alyssa wouldn't be at school today 
 
G 
She doesn't lie 
D 
in the classroom 
Cadd9 
She doesn't lie 
D 
Anymore at school 
G 
Alyssa lies 
D 
With Jesus 
Cadd9 D 
Because ther's nothing anyone would do 
 
G D Cadd9 
Tears filled my eyes 
Em D Cadd9 
When my little girl asked me why 
G D Cadd9 
Alyssa lies 
G D Cadd9 
Daddy tell me why 
G 
Alyssa lies
