[Verse]
   G                 D          
My little girl met a new friend 
Cadd9
just the other day
       G                    D     
On the playground at school 
      Cadd9
between the tires and the swing
G            D                    
But she came home with tear-filled
 Cadd9
 eyes
         G                D       
When she said to me "daddy , 
  Cadd9
Alyssa lies"
G            D                 Cadd9
Well, I just brushed it off at first
G              D                
Cause I didn't know how much my 
Cadd9
little girl had been hurt
G      D                   Cadd9
Or the things that she had seen
         G            D           
I wasn't ready when I said you can
      Cadd9
 tell me

[Chorus]
                G          
She said Alyssa lies to the 
 D
classroom
       Cadd9            D
Alyssa lies everyday at school
       G           D
Alyssa lies to the teachers
       Cadd9                D
As she tries to cover every bruise

[Verse]
   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
           Cadd9
 her say a prayer so soft and sweet
G         D             Cadd9
God bless my mom and my dad
    G                    D       
And my new friend Alyssa , oh, I 
Cadd9
know she needs you bad

[Chorus]
               G           D
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom
       Cadd9            D
Alyssa lies everyday at school
       G           D
Alyssa lies to the teachers
       Cadd9                D
As she tries to cover every bruise

[Verse]
Em                       Cadd9
I had the worst night of sleep in 
years
     G                             
As I tried to think of a way to 
      D
calm her fears
Em                    Cadd9
I knew exactly what I had to do
            G                      
But when we got to school on 
              D
Monday, I heard the news
   G                 D    
My little girl asked me why 
       Cadd9
everybody looked so sad
    G                      D      
The lump in my throat grew bigger 
           Cadd9
with every question that she asked
G                D                
Until I felt the tears run down my
 Cadd9
 face
      G             D             
And I told her that Alyssa 
  Cadd9
wouldn't be at school today

[Chorus]
            G          D
She doesn't lie in the classroom
            Cadd9          D
She doesn't lie anymore at school
       G         D
Alyssa lies with Jesus
                Cadd9              
Because there's nothing anyone 
  D
would do

G     D         Cadd9        Em
Tears filled my eyes when my 
          D        Cadd9
little girl asked me why
       G     D   Cadd9
Alyssa lies
                           G    D 
Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me why
  Cadd9

             G
Alyssa lies
