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] CF Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in, CF because it's cold outside (cold outside, it's cold outside). CF Share with me the secrets that you kept in AmG because it's cold inside (cold inside, it's cold inside).
[Pre-Chorus] F And your slowly shaking finger tips C show that you're scared like me. AmG So, let's pretend we're alone. F And I know you may be scared G and I know we're unprepared, C but I don't care.
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, G/BF what makes you think that you are invincible? AmC I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure. G/BF Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable.
Impossible.
[Verse 2] CF I was born to tell you I love you. C Isn't that a song already? F I get a B in originality. CF And it's true, I cant go on without you, Am your smile makes me see clearer. G If you could only see in the mirror what I see.
[Pre-Chorus] F And your slowly shaking finger tips C show that you're scared like me. AmG So, let's pretend we're alone. F And I know you may be scared G and I know we're unprepared, C but I don't care.
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me, G/BF what makes you think that you are invincible? AmC I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure. G/BF Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable.
Impossible.
[Bridge]
AmG/BC Slow down, girl, F you're not going anywhere. G Just wait around and see. AmG/BCF Maybe I'm much more, you never know what lies ahead. GAmG/BC I promise I can be anyone, I can be anything. FG Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed. AmG/BC I can be anyone, anything. FG I promise I can be what you need.
[Chorus] C Tell me, tell me, G/BF what makes you think that you are invincible? AmC I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure. G/BF Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable.
