Alyssa Lies Chords Guitar Tab

my lit(G)tle girl(D) met a new friend,
(C)just the other day,
on the play(G)ground at(D) school
between the (C)tires and the swings
SAME AS FIRST VERSE...
But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"
Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
or the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"
and she said...  (C)
"Alyssa lies(G) to the class(D)room,
Alyssa li(C)es everyday at sch(D)ool,
Alyssa li(G)es to the tea(D)chers
as she tri(C)es to cover every bru(D)ise"
SAME AS FIRST VERSE...
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*I know she needs you bad
CHORUS
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers
as she tries to cover every bruise"
(bridge)
I had the worst nig(Em)ht of sleep in years (A7)
as I tried (Em) to think of a way to calm her fears (A7)
I knew (Em) just what it was I had to do (A7)
but when we got (Em) to school on Monday I heard (D) the news
same as first verse...
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
the lump in my throat grew bigger
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today
PLAY THE CHORUS CHORDS HERE...
'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
she doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do
SAME AS FISRT VERSE
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why (C)
Alyssa lies  (G)

	i love this song. i heard it on the radio a few days ago while i was driving and i almost had to pull over because i was crying. it is so powerful. it's amazing how kids can see things that adults sometimes don't, even if they don't understand exactly what something means, they can still know that it is wrong and that the person needs help. .simply amazing.

	I Love this song it is so sad. It is about the guys little girl's friend Alyssa. Shes gets beat but she is too afraid to tell anyone and before anybody can do anything is she dead. This song makes me cry everytime I hear it.

	I love this song so much! Every time i listen to it i cry my eyes out. This song means so much to me because i have read a book just like the song. But instead of him dying he found help but his mother would try to get him back. Anyone who does child abuse should just go to hell with the first strike, 1

	it's a song about a little girl who has a friend that gets abused and is afraid to tell people. in the end, alyssa (the little girl's friend) dies because nobody did anything. it's a sad song :(
