[Verse 1]
C Em
Your beauty took my breath away
D G
In awe all day
C Em
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
Am
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]
Em
You are broke all summer
D G
But you still sing
Em
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
Am
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
Am
Why can't we just design
C
To live like this all the time?
D G
Why can't we just quit?

[Verse 3]
Em
Sand ran through my fingers
D G
And the land was hot
Em
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
Am
It'll be sad my friend
C
To see it come to an end
D G
Why can't we just quit
[Bridge]
Bm
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
Bm
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]
Em
When the summer's gone
D G
And the room is cold
C Em
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
Am
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
Am
Why can't we just design
C
To live like this all the time?
D G
Why can't we just quit?
