Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

_____Verse: 1

Hey, Nikita is it cold

  In your little corner of the world

You could roll around the globe

and never find a warmer soul to know

Oh, I saw you by the wall

Ten of your tin soldiers in a row

With eyes that looked like ice on fire

The human heart a captive in the snow

_____Chorus:

Oh, Nikita you will 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

_____Verse: 2

Do you e__ver 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

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

_____Interlude:

_____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

  (Nikita_____) Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
