Biography:
Secondhand Serenade is a one man band from Menlo Park, California. John Vesely, 30, sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies, and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords.
After the breakup of Sounds Like Life, featuring himself and Ronnie Day, Vesely started writing and performing his songs solo under the name Secondhand Serenade.

[Verse 1]
C#m B E
Didn't you want to hear
the sound of all the
C#m
places we could go
B
Do you fear the expressions
A
on the faces we don't know
B E
It's a cold hard road
when you wake up
C#m
and I don't think that I
B A
Have the strength to let you go
[Chorus]
B E
Maybe it's just me
B/Eb
Couldn't you believe
C#m
that everything I said and
A
did wasn't just deceiving
B E
And the tear in your eye
B/Eb
and your calm hard face
C#m
makes me wish that I was never
B A
brought into this place
[Verse 2]
C#m B E
There goes my ring
It might as well
C#m
have been shattered
B
and I'm here to sing
A
about the things that mattered
B E
about the things that made us
C#m
feel alive for oh so long
B
about the things that kept you
A
on my side when I was wrong
[Chorus]
B E
Maybe it's just me
B/Eb
Couldn't you believe
C#m
that everything I said and
A
did wasn't just deceiving

And the tear in your eye

and your calm hard face
C#m
makes me wish that I was never
B A
brought into this place
[Interlude] C#m--B--A
[Bridge]
A C#m
And someday I promise
B A
I'll be gone
A
And someday I might
C#m B A
even sing this song
A C#m
To you I might even
B A
sing this song to you to you
B E A
and I was crying alone tonight
B C#m
and I was wasting all of my
B E
life just thinking of you
A
So just come back
C#m
we'll make it better
B
So Just come back
I'll make it
E/G# A B
better than it ever was
E/G# A B
better than it ever was
