JASON MICHAEL CARROLL - Alyssa Lies guitar tab

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 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 D

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 D

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 that 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 there'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
