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.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Hmm. I really wish I could figure out what tuning this song is in... but I think this is more accurate than my last tab.
EBC#mA
C#mA I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away. EB "The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say. C#mA I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay. E 'Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting, B You'll see me wasted away
EB 'Cause today, you walked out of my life C#mA 'Cause today, your words felt like a knife C#mAEB I'm not living this life.
C#mA Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain EB And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same. C#mA These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain EB And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame.
EB 'Cause today, you walked out of my life C#mA 'Cause today, your words felt like a knife I'm not living this life.
B But what do I know, if you're leaving All you did was stop the bleeding. C#m But these scars will stay forever, These scars will stay forever B And these words have no meaning If we cannot find the feeling A That we held on to together Try your hardest to remember
E Stay with me, B Or watch me bleed, C#mA I need you just to breathe.
EB 'Cause today, you walked out of my life (stay with me, or watch me bleed) C#mA 'Cause today, your words felt like a knife (I need you just to breathe) E (EBC#mAE) I'm not living this life. ===============================================================================
