Why

Dm          C      Dm  
Why did it have to be a friend 
      Gm        C        Dm 
Who chose to betray the Lord 
Dm         C      Dm         
Why did he use a kiss to show 
        Gm         C       Dm 
That's not what a kiss is for 
F                    C    
Only a friend can betray a friend 
    Dm                      A 
A stranger has nothing to gain 
    Dm      C           Dm   
And only a friend comes close enough 
   Gm         C        Dm 
To ever cause so much pain 
 
    Gm             F      Gm 
And why did there have to be thorny 
Cm              F       Gm 
Crown pressed upon His head 
   Gm           F        Gm 
It should have been the royal one 
         Cm         F      Gm 
Made of jewels and gold instead 
F               C  
It had to be a crown of thorns 
   Dm                         A 
Because in this life that we live 
Dm             C       Dm 
All who would seek to love 
            Gm            C         Dm 
A thorn is all that this world can give 
 
(use the same chords as in the first verse) 
And why did it have to be 
A heavy cross He was made to bare 
And why did they nail His feet and hands 
His love would have held Him there 
It was a cross for upon a cross 
A thief was supposed to pay 
And Jesus had come into the world 
To steal every heart away 
Yes, Jesus had come into the world 
To steal every heart away
