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.

This may not be completely correct according to the exact song. This is the way that our plays it and we love it and we have gotten great crowd response. I'm not sure the exact of these chords but I know basically what they are. So just refer back to these to get exact fingerings of the chords.
C# In the moonlight E Your face it glows A Like a thousand diamonds C# I suppose E And your hair flows like A The ocean breeze C# Not a million fights E Could make me hate you A You're invincible C# Yeah, It's true E It's in your eyes A Where I find peace
C# Is it broken? E Can we work it out? AB Let's light up the town, scream out loud! C# Is it broken? E Can we work it out? A I can see in your eyes BA You're ready to break
Don't look away.
C#EA
C# So here we are now E In a place where A The sun blended C# With the ocean thin. EA So thin, we stand C# Across from each other E Together we'll wonder AC# If we will last these days E If I asked you to stay A Would you tell me C# You would be mine? EA
C# And time E Is all I ask for A Time C#EA I just need one more day C# And time E You've been crying too long A Time C#E And your tears wrote this song A Stay
C# In the moonlight EA Your face it glows
C# Is it broken? E Can we work it out? AB Let's light up the town, scream out loud! C# Is it broken? E Can we work it out? A I can see in your eyes BA You're ready to break
