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

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

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