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.

[Intro] EA2 (that’s pretty much the whole song…pretty simple.)
When you play the E, especially in the chorus, theres an added note he plays with the and A2 just with an added B or something...thats a really easy way to think about it lol. make a lot os sense though...just play it.
E In the moonlight Your face it glows A2E Like a thousand diamonds I suppose
And your hair flows like A2 The ocean breeze E Not a million fights Could make me hate you A2E You’re invincible Yeah, It’s true
It’s in your eye A2 Where I find peace
[Chorus]
E Is it broken? A2E Can we work it out? A2EA2B Let’s light up the town, scream out loud! E Is it broken? A2E Can we work it out? A2EA2B I can see in your eyes, You’re ready to break E Don’t look away.
[Bridge]
E And time Is all I ask for A2EA2 Time I just need one more day E And time You’ve been crying too long A2 Time And your tears wrote this song E Stay
