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
