Lyrics

Turn your (E5)face

to wards the (D)sun,

let the (C#m)shad ows

fall be hind you.

(Dsus2)Don’t look (Em)back,

just car ry (D)on,

and the (C#m)shad ows will nev er find you.

Turn your (Em)face

to wards the (D6)sun,

let the (A)shad ows

fall be hind you.

(D6)Don’t look (Em)back,

just car ry (D6)on,

and the (A)shad ows will nev er (C)find you.

(Em)Lost in the rock and (D)roll,

got lost in a (D)prom ise of a (C)love I’d nev er know.

Shad ows (Em)chase me far from (D)home;

I re (D)mem ber when my (C)heart was filled with gold.

And you know

I’ve been burned, I’ve been burned, I’ve been burned.

You see me lose con trol.

It’s not worth, it’s not worth, it’s not worth

my soul.

Turn your (Em)face

to wards the (D6)sun,

let the (A)shad ows

fall be hind you.

(D6)Don’t look (Em)back,

just car ry (D6)on,

and the (A)shad ows will nev er (C)find you.

(Em)Lost my the faith and (D)trust.

got lost You and (D)I ise know a (C)gold don’t turn to rust.

I still (Em)swear that we can (D)reign

like the (D)kings and queens of (C)bet ter yes ter days.

Don’t you know,

I’ve been burned, I’ve been burned, I’ve been burned.

You see me lose con trol.

It’s not worth, it’s not worth, it’s not worth

my soul.

Turn your (Em)face

to wards the (D6)sun,

let the (A)shad ows

fall be hind you.

(D6)Don’t look (Em)back,

just car ry (D6)on,

and the (A)shad ows will nev er (C)find you.

Where you gon na go?

Where you gon na (G)go?

Where you gon na (D)run to when you get to the (Bm)edge of the (C)night?

This time you’ll (G6)face the (D)sky.

Turn your (Em)face

to wards the (G)sun,

let the (G6)shad ows

fall be (A5)hind you.

Don’t look (Cmaj7)back,

just car ry (Dsus)on,

and the (Em)shad ows will nev er find you.

Turn your face

to wards the (F#m)sun,

let the (G6)shad ows

fall be (A5)hind you.

Don’t look (Cmaj7)back,

just car ry (D)on,

and the (Em)shad ows will nev er find you.

Turn your (CN.C.)face

to wards the sun,

let the shad ows

fall be hind you.

This page shows “Towards The Sun” by Rihanna in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of E at 120 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.
