Standard (EADGBE)

Why did it have to be a friend

 Who chose to betray the Lord

Why did he use a kiss to show

 That's not what a kiss is for

 Only a friend can betray a friend

 A stranger has nothing to gain

 And only a friend comes close enough

 To ever cause so much pain

 And why did there have to be thorny

Crown pressed upon His head

 It should have been the royal one

 Made of jewels and gold instead

It had to be a crown of thorns

 Because in this life that we live

All who would seek to love

 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
