[Verse 1]
B D#m
Your beauty took my breath away
C# F#
In awe all day
B D#m
Your company was so relaxing
C# F#
Easy going ways
B C# F#
We saw the first signs of summer and springtime change
B
Walking barefoot along the sand
C# F#
I hadn't planned to stay
[Chorus]
C#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
B F#
All summer
G#m
It'll be sad, my friend
B
To see it come to an end
C# F#
Why can't we just quit?
[Solo]
C# B F# G#m
C# B F# G#m
[Verse 2]
D#m
You are broke all summer
C# F#
But you still sing
D#m
Don't need money when it's sunny
C# F#
Don't need anything
B C# F#
Just need music and sun and laughter and no currency
B
The sun on your bare shoulders
C# F#
It comes for free
[Chorus]
C#
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
B F#
All summer
G#m
It'll be sad, my friend
B
To see it come to an end
C# F#
Why can't we just quit?
C#
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
B F#
All summer
G#m
Why can't we just design
B
To live like this all the time?
C# F#
Why can't we just quit?
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
D#m
Sand ran through my fingers
C# F#
And the land was hot
D#m
Anointed by Apollo
C# F#
And his chariot
B C# F#
Disarmed by your charm that night, I felt it again
B
Addictive and consuming
F#
Love's sweet pain
[Chorus]
C#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
B F#
All summer
G#m
It'll be sad my friend
B
To see it come to an end
C# F#
Why can't we just quit
[Bridge]
A#m
Our days are as the wind blows us
F#
We are free
B
You've a quiet life out of town
C# F#
Of coastal ease
A#m
And the wind, it has no pattern
F#
We take life slow
B
And when the night has fallen
C#
Our cup overflows
[Verse 4]
D#m
When the summer's gone
C# F#
And the room is cold
B D#m
When you're looking at the rain
C# F#
And it just won't go
B
Remember when the sun was hot
C# F#
And high up above
B
Remember when the days were long
F#
And we were in love
[Chorus]
C#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
B F#
All summer
G#m
It'll be sad, my friend
B
To see it come to an end
C# F#
Why can't we just quit?
C#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
B F#
All summer
G#m
Why can't we just design
B
To live like this all the time?
C# F#
Why can't we just quit?
