Biography:
Born Margaret Wander, Dessa’s first release with Doomtree, False Hopes, introduced a unique sensibility to underground hip-hop: literary, bitter-sweet, and wry. She alternated between a clever, droll persona as an emcee and her earnest, unaffected delivery as a singer with a low, clear alto voice. Her a cappella arrangements delicate and expressive, full of sad, old world harmonies. False Hopes attracted a varied set of ferociously dedicated fans in the Midwest and beyond.

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!
This chord chart is based off of Dessa's live performance of this song. This may not be
perfect, but it sounded pretty good to me :) Hope this helps!
-STANDARD TUNING
-Key of C# Major
-No Capo
Verse 1:
C# F#
Hello, it's only me,
A#m G# C#
I know it's late, oh to catch you still awake
F# A#m
Maybe I was wrong to call,
G# C#
Guess tonight broke my resolve
F#
I've been having that dream again,
m G#
It seems I always will.
C# F# A#m G#
I don't know what the thing means except it sends me to the telephone...
Pre Chorus:
F#
And still I know,
G# A#m (hold)
That love is never free
F# G# A#m (hold)
It bows your head, and bends your knees.
F# G# A#m (hold)
And there's no sword without and edge,
F# G# A#m (hold)
I sleep uneasily when you're not in my bed ('cause)
Chorus:
C# F# A#m
I didn't come to play it safe,
G# C#
I came to win or lose with you.
F# A#m
I only live alone by day,
G# C# F#
A#m G# (play instrumental chorus once after)
'Cause every night, you pass through...
The chords are the same throughout the song. :) Rinse and repeat! Listen to the
recording for timing.
Have fun! Please revise if you see mistakes or want to make the chart more readable. Thanks! <3
