this is the right stuff...
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

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