Alyssa Lies - Jason Michael Carroll (G)

5  6 5    6    7   -7-7  7 
My little girl met a new friend
7    -7  -66   -6-5
Just the other day
3  4   5   6      5  -6
On the playground at school
4 5     6   -66   6   5   4
Between the tires and the swings
4   5   -6   6    6    -7   7      -5
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
3   4   5    6  5   6 -6   45 6   4
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies"
4     5 -6   6       6  -7  7  -5
Well, I just brushed it off at first
4     5 6 5    -6   6   6    5  -66    6    5   6    4
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
6  5   6      -7  7   7-5
Or the things she had seen
4 -44    5  6  6    5 -6   6    6   5   6    4
I wasn't ready when I said that you can tell me
4   5   4
And she said
67 -8  87
Alyssa Lies
7  7   -8   8-8
To the classroom
67 -8  -67
Alyssa lies
76   7   6  -88-8
Everyday at school
67 -8  765
Alyssa lies
7  7   -8 8-8
To the teacher
7  -8  7     6  7 6   76    -88-8
As she tries to cover every bruise
5  6 5    6    7    -7  -7   7
My little girl laid her head down
7    7     -7 -6 6  -6-5
That night to go to sleep
3  4 5       6   5   -6   5 6     5   6
As I stepped out the room I heard her say
6 -6     6  6    5   4
A prayer so soft and sweet
6   -6    6  6   -7  7  -5
God bless my mom and my dad
4   5  6   6      5-66
And my new friend Alyssa
6  5 -6   7   7     -7  -8
Oh I know she needs you bad
7 7     67 -8  87
Because Alyssa Lies
7  7   -8   8-8
To the classroom
67 -8  -67
Alyssa lies
76   7   6  -88-8
Everyday at school
67 -8  765
Alyssa lies
7  7   -8 8-8
To the teacher
7  -8  7     6  7 6   76    -88-8
As she tries to cover every bruise
7 7   -7  7     -8    -6 7     -6 -87
I had the worst night of sleep in years
6  5 6     7  7     6  7 7   -6 6    -6  6
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
7 7    -77  7  -8   -67   -6 -87
I knew exactly what I had to do
6   6    5  6   7  7      -7 7  -6  6 6     -6  6
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
5  6 5    6    7     -7 7   7-7  7 -7 -6     6  -6-5
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
4   5    6  5  6      6    -66
The lump in my throat grew bigger
5    56    -6 6     6    5   4
With every question that she asked
5 6   5 6    5   6     6   -7   7  -6
Until I felt the tears run down my face
3   4 5    6   6    5-66   6   5    -6 6  6      5 4
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
6   7   -8 7    87
Cuz She doesn't lie
7  7   -8   8-8
In the classroom
6   7  -8   7-5
She doesn't lie
76 7    6  -88-8
Anymore at school
67 9   87
Alyssa lies
7    -88-8
With Jesus
6 7     -8      -87     76 7   6     -878-87
Because there's nothing anyone would do
7     -7     -8 7-5
Tears filled my eyes
7    -8 8 -8   7    -8    -7 7-87
When my little girl asked me why
78 -8  78-88
Alyssa lies
9  9 8    9  -10 9  9    8  98 -98-8 8-87
Oh Daddy, oh dad-dy tell me why
