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 I: DAsus4 Superstitions aren't meant for lovers Em7 Under covers, undiscovered is your skin Dsus2 I am lonely, please let me in DAsus4 You're probably wondering what I was proving
Are you choosing? Em7 Am I losing you tonight? Dsus2 Is it over, over? Em7Asus4 Are we fading?
chorus: DDsus2 I never wanted anything the way that I want you Em7 But my words don't seem to matter Asus4 My words don't seem to matter D And you look at me and I can see Dsus2 The lies you're running to Em7 But my words don't seem to matter Asus4 I'd rather have you tested and true
break thing..can't really figure out the chords, I just play D then Dsus2.
verse II: D Now you've had your chance Asus4 So lets try my way, it's my day Em7Dsus2 To show you what you're missing, turn around D And feel the winds of change upon your face again Asus4 The warm breath of your closest friend Em7Dsus2 I'm waiting, I'm waiting Em7Asus4 Are we fading?
chorus: DDsus2 I never wanted anything the way that I want you Em7 But my words don't seem to matter Asus4 My words don't seem to matter D And you look at me and I can see Dsus2 The lies you're running to Em7 But my words don't seem to matter Asus4 I'd rather have you tested and true
