Em7    Cadd9    G   Dsus2
Em7    Cadd9    G   Dsus2

   [Verse 1]
        G      D
You can take a look
     Em7   Cadd9
in a dusty book
            G          D  Cadd9
Through the sentiments of time
       G       D
In the age old land of
    Em7       Cadd9
the calloused hand
     G    D    G
Your dignity's defined

   [Verse 2]
        G          D
There's a calmness here
         Em7    Cadd9
at this time of year
         G          D      Cadd9
When the men return to the fields
         G          D
When the wind blows strong and
    Em7         Cadd9
the nights grow long
       G         D      G
At the door your hunger yields

   [Chorus]
   Em7     Cadd9       G    D
So tell me that you'll hold me
Em7      Cadd9   G     D  Dsus4  D
Stronger we will stand
      G       D
I can see the day when
      Em7      Cadd9
we'll know the way
    G     D             G
And we'll return to the land

   [Verse 3]
         G       D
When the martyrs fall
         Em7    Cadd9
from the castle wall
    G      D          Cadd9
And menace clouds the air
     G      D
When reason dies to
    Em7      Cadd9
the sound of lies
       G      D         G
You'll be far away from there

   [Chorus] x2
   Em7     Cadd9       G    D
So tell me that you'll hold me
Em7      Cadd9   G     D  Dsus4  D
Stronger we will stand
      G       D
I can see the day when
      Em7      Cadd9
we'll know the way
    G     D             G
And we'll return to the land

Em7    Cadd9    G   Dsus2

   [Bridge]
Bm                   C
When the death knell tolls
        C/E     G
Like in days of olden times
         Gsus2
you will foresee
          Bm
When your children smile
         C          C/E
And your heart runs wild,
    D         Dsus2
and you'll be free

   [Chorus]
   Em7     Cadd9       G    D
So tell me that you'll hold me
Em7      Cadd9   G     D  Dsus4  D
Stronger we will stand
      G       D
I can see the day when
      Em7      Cadd9
we'll know the way
    G     D             G
And we'll return to the land

We Will Stand by Tide Lines is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 10 chords: Em7, Cadd9, G, Dsus2, D, Dsus4, Bm, C, C/E and Gsus2.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em7 – Cadd9 – G – D (vi7 – IVadd9 – I – V in G major), the “sensitive” minor-start rotation of the four-chord progression, a favourite in ballads and worship.
