[Vers 1:]

G          Bm7            C                       G             
  Hey, Nikita, is it cold   in your little corner of the world, 

                D               D7 
you could roll around the globe    

                             G        G7                            C 
and never find a warmer soul to know.    Oh, I saw you by the wall,   

                            G     
ten of your tin soldiers in a row 

                           D            D7 
with eyes that looked like ice on fire,    

                             G         
the human heart a captive in the snow. 

[Refrain 1:]

G7                      C                         G        
   Oh, Nikita, you will never know anything about my home, 

                                          D       D7  
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you, oh no, 

          G            G7                    C          
Nikita, I need you so.    Oh, Nikita, is the other side 

                  G                                            D 
of any given line in time, counting ten tin soldiers in a row,   

C/E D7/F#                G           
oh no,    Nikita, you'll never know.

[Vers 2:]

         Bm7             C                                  G       
Do you ever dream of me,   do you ever see the letters that I write 

                                   D D7 
when you look up through the wire,      

                               G         G7 
Nikita, do you count the stars at night?    

                          C                               G       
And if there comes a time   guns and gates no longer hold you in, 

                             D      D7 
and if you're free to make a choice    

                                    G         
just look towards the West and find a friend. 

[Refrain 2:]

G7                      C                         G        
   Oh, Nikita, you will never know anything about my home, 

                                          D    C/E D7/F# 
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you, oh no,    

          G            
Nikita, I need you so.
