E G#m G#m7 A A#dim Bsus
_____Verse: 1
E G#m A D/A
Hey, Nikita is it cold
A E A/E
In your little corner of the world
E B E/B
You could roll around the globe
B7 E A/E
and never find a warmer soul to know
E7 E7G# A Bm/AD/A
/
Oh, I saw you by the wall
A E F#mE
/
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
E B E/B
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
B7 E A/E
The human heart a captive in the snow
_____Chorus:
E7 E7G# A BmE
/
Oh, Nikita you will never know
A E
anything about my home
B E/B
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
B7 E A/E
Nikita, I need you so

Oh, Nikita is the other side

_____Verse: 2
E G#m A D/A
Do you e__ver dream of me
A E A/E
Do you ever see the letters that I write
E B E/B
When you look up through the wire
B7 E A/E
Nikita do you count the stars at night
E7 E7G# A Bm/AD/A
/
And if there comes a time
A E F#mE
/
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
E B E/B
And if you're free to make a choice
B7 E A/E
Just look towards the west and find a friend
_____Chorus:
E7 E7G# A BmE
/
Oh, Nikita you will never know
A E
anything about my home
B E/B
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
B7 E A/E
Nikita, I need you so
