[VERSE I]
F G Am F G Am
Tonight it’s raining and the mountains are misty, reminding me of wintertime
F G Am F G Am
Strange that it’s late spring and the firewood is burning, strange that it’s spring and that
F G Am
In a hotel room across the ocean, I’m not tossing and turning

C D Em C D Em
On the end table, the same old vase, filled with oleanders and sweet peas
C D Em C D Em
And there’s my boxing encyclopedia from the 1950s, and I just read the old records of Tiger Flowers
F G Am
And Willie Ritchie
F G Am
[PRE-CHORUS]
F G Am F G Am
And yesterday while I was cutting my lawn, I stumbled on a patch of lemon balm
F G Am
I thought it might be mint, but you told mе I was wrong
F G Am F G
You sniffed it with caution and said that you were surе it was lemon balm
[Chorus]

[VERSE III]
F G Am F
The cat, she’s asleep, with her there’s few surprises
G Am
And I’ve just opened The Sun Also Rises
F G Am
Lost in a world of trout fishing in Basque County, Spain
F G Am
Last time I was in Spain it was much like here
F G Am
Mountainous, mystical, and pouring rain
F G Am
[PRE-CHORUS]
F G Am
I feel there’s so much right in this world, though I’m told I’m wrong
F G Am
While I lay, sipping a bottle of water, and flipping through pages
F G
And chewing on lemon balm
[CHORUS]

C G C
For some to relax, they recite biblical songs
G C
For some to relax, they have somebody read their poems
G C
For some to relax, they read William Faulkner’s The Wild Palms
G C
As for me, I open any old book and chew on lemon balm
F G Am
F G Am
[VERSE IV]
F G Am
While taking photos of flowers recently, on the side of the road
F G Am
A girl with three guys yelled, “Mark, I love your band!”
F G Am
I asked her which one of them was her ex
F G Am
Which was her new boyfriend, and which one of them would be her future, rest of her life man?
[VERSE V]
C D Em C
Mike said to Robert, “Come on, say something ironical!”
D Em C
And that planted a seed as to why, toward them, I was comical
D Em
To my question, the four of them devilishly grinned
C D Em
I said, “Nice to meet you all, but I gotta leave, my head is spinning.”
[VERSE VI]
F G Am
“Spinning with what?” one of the young men said
F G Am
I said, “I’m middle-aged, and your lives are just beginning
F G Am
And I remember when I was young like you and everything seemed so nifty.”
F G Am C
He said, “Don’t be so down on yourself, you’re the coolest musician we know who’s in their fifties!”
[PRE-CHORUS]
C D Em C
Tonight the rain’s falling, the sound of the woodburning stove brings me calm
D Em C
And tonight and all day is over me, I refuse to be fond
D Em
To you and I, this night only belongs
C D Em
I’m at peace drinking water and reading and chewing on lemon balm
[CHORUS]
C G
C G
Lemon balm
[BRIDGE]
C G C
Some guys died young in Vietnam from napalm
G C
Some may die happy after eating dinner in Milan
G C
Some will go out fighting while others may go out without a qualm
G C
When I die, I hope it's a long way away and that I'm next to you, where I belong
G
And that in my system they found the delicious dishes
C G
Made with lemongrass, garlic, chilis, and fish sauces
C G C G
And I’ll bet, in my system, they find traces of my calming lemon balm
[CHORUS]
C G
