D5          C5      D5  
Why did it have to be a friend 
      G5        C5        D5 
Who chose to betray the Lord 
D5         C5      D5         
Why did he use a kiss to show 
        G5         C5       D5 
That's not what a kiss is for 
F5                    C5    
Only a friend can betray a friend 
    D5                      A5 
A stranger has nothing to gain 
    D5      C5           D5   
And only a friend comes close enough 
   G5         C5        D5 
To ever cause so much pain 
 

    G5             F5      G5 
And why did there have to be thorny 
C5              F5       G5 
Crown pressed upon His head 
   G5           F5        G5 
It should have been the royal one 
         C5         F5      G5 
Made of jewels and gold instead 
F5               C5  
It had to be a crown of thorns 
   D5                         A5 
Because in this life that we live 
D5             C5       D5 
All who would seek to love 
            G5            C5         D5 
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
