Why – Michael Card
Key C (Live version is in Bb
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
Why did he use a kiss to show them? That's not what a kiss is for
C G Am E
Only a friend can betray a friend, a stranger has nothing to gain
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
And only a friend comes close enough to ever cause so much pain
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
And why did there have to be thorny, crown pressed upon His head
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
It should have been the royal one, made of jewels and gold instead
C G Am E
It had to be a crown of thorns, because in this life that we live
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
For all who seek to love, a thorn is all the world has to give
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
And why did it have to be a heavy, cross He was made to bare
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
And why did they nail His feet and hands, when His love would have held Him there
C G Am E
It was a cross for on a cross, a thief was supposed to pay
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
And Jesus had come into the world, to steal every heart away
Am Em7 Am Em7 C Em7 Am
Yes, Jesus had come into the world to steal every heart away

I'm submitting this because the previous submission was both incomplete and incorrect
with some unexpected key changes in the chords unexplained. After listening to the first
recording of this song in the album "Known by the Scars" 1984 it seemed he first wrote it in C.
In the live album "Circles in the Sand" he plays it half a step down
in Bb possibly to accommodate his accompaniment.
