The best thing to do is pull a new thermostat wire.  Home Centers sell rolls of thermostat wiring and it's fairly simple for a DIYer to install it.  Count the wires being used by your current system and buy a roll that has at least one more wire than that.  So if you have 4 wires now, buy a 5 or 6 wire roll.

If that doesn't seem feasible, you'll need to buy a Nest Power Adapter.  They sell those wherever Nests are sold.
