Lyrics

Gon na put the world a way for a min ute, pre tend I don’t live in it.

Sun shine gon na (Bb)wash my blues a way.

Had sweet love but I lost it; she got too close so I fought it.

Now I’m (Cm)lost in the (Bb)world, try’n’ to (Ab)find me a (Bb)bet ter (Eb)way.

Wish in’ I was knee deep in the wa ter some where; got the (Ab)blue sky, breeze, and it don’t seem fair.

On ly (Eb)wor ry in the world: Is the (Bb)tide gon na reach my (Eb)chair?

Sun rise, there’s a fire in the sky; nev er (Ab)been so hap py, nev er felt so high.

And I (Cm)think I might have (Bb)found me my (Ab)own kind of (Bb)par a (Eb)dise.

Wrote a note, said, “Be back in a min ute.” Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

Don’t think an y bod y’s gon na (Bb)miss me an y way.

Mind on a per ma nent va ca tion, the o cean is my on ly med i ca tion.

Wish in’ my con (Bb)di tion ain’t ev er gon na (Bb)go a way.

’Cause now I’m

This (Cm)cham pagne shore watch in’ (Eb)o ver me.

It’s a (Bb)sweet, sweet life

liv in’ by the (Eb)salt y sea.

(Ab)One day you could be as (Eb)lost as me.

Change your ge (F7)og ra phy,

may be (Bb)you might be

knee deep in the wa ter some where; got the (Ab)blue sky, breeze blow in’ wind through my hair.

On ly (Eb)wor ry in the world: Is the (Bb)tide gon na reach my (Eb)chair?

Sun rise, there’s a fire in the sky; nev er (Ab)been so hap py, nev er felt so high.

And I (Cm)think I might have (Bb)found me my (Ab)own kind of (Bb)par a (Eb)dise.

(Eb)Come on in, the wa ter’s nice.

(Bb)Find your self a lit tle slice.

(Eb)Grab a bag, (Bb)pack a lunch; you’ll (Cm)nev er know un (Bb)til you try.

When you (F7)lose your self,

you (Bb)find the key to par a (Eb)dise.

Knee Deep is arranged in the key of Ab on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Knee Deep" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Ab, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 160 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
