[Verse 1]
C# Fm
Your beauty took my breath away
D# G#
In awe all day
C# Fm
Your company was so relaxing
D# G#
Easy going ways
C# D# G#
We saw the first signs of summer and springtime change
C#
Walking barefoot along the sand
D# G#
I hadn't planned to stay
[Chorus]
D#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
C# G#
All summer
A#m
It'll be sad, my friend
C#
To see it come to an end
D# G#
Why can't we just quit?
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Fm
You are broke all summer
D# G#
But you still sing
Fm
Don't need money when it's sunny
D# G#
Don't need anything
C# D# G#
Just need music and sun and laughter and no currency
C#
The sun on your bare shoulders
D# G#
It comes for free
[Chorus]
D#
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
C# G#
All summer
A#m
It'll be sad, my friend
C#
To see it come to an end
D# G#
Why can't we just quit?
D#
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
C# G#
All summer
A#m
Why can't we just design
C#
To live like this all the time?
D# G#
Why can't we just quit?

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