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

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