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.

D#C Staring at the glass in front of me A# Is it half empty? G#D# Have I ruined all you've given me? C I know I've been selfish A# I know I've been foolish G#A# But look through that and you will see C That I'll do better A#G# I know, baby I can do better
D#A# If you leave me tonight C I'll wake up alone G#D# Don't tell me I will make it on my own A# Don't leave me tonight CA#G# This heart of stone will sing 'til it dies
If you leave me tonight
D#C Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping A# I listen to your breathing G#D# Amazed how I somehow managed to C Sweep you off of your feet girl A# Your perfect little feet girl G#A# I took for granted what you do C But I'll do better A#G# I know, baby I can do better
D#A# If you leave me tonight C I'll wake up alone G#D# Don't tell me I will make it on my own A# Don't leave me tonight CA#G# This heart of stone will sing 'til it dies

But you're the only one for me
