intro  G Bm C Am7 Bm C G
       G Bm Bm7 C C#m7b5 Dsus4


G       Bm          C   Csus4 C
  Hey Nikita is it cold
                      G             Gsus4 G
In your little corner of the world?
                D                Dsus4 D
You could roll around the globe
          D7            G            Gsus4 G
And never find a warmer soul to know


     G7             C    Csus2 C C6 C
Oh I saw you by the wall
                         G        Gsus4 G Gsus2
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
                           D           D6 D Dsus4 D 
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
           D7             G            G    Gsus4 G
The human heart a captive in the snow


          G7       C           C Csus2 C
Oh Nikita you will never know
          G             Gsus4 G
Anything about my home
                                     D
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Dsus4  D7         G            Gsus4 G
Oh,      Nikita I need you so


      G7          C           Csus2 C 
Oh, Nikita is the other side
             G             Gsus2 G
Of any given line in time
                               D
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row?
Dsus4 D7                G
Oh    no, Nikita you'll never know


break  G Bm Bm7 C C#m7b5 Dsus4


Do you ever dream of me?
Do you ever see the letters that I write?
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night?


And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend


chorus

Oh, Nikita you will never know
Never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so


Oh, Nikita is the other side
Of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know
