Artist/Band: Jason Michael Carroll Tabs
Song: Alyssa Lies 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
