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

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

Cm
Sand ran through my fingers
A# D#
And the land was hot
Cm
Anointed by Apollo
A# D#
And his chariot
G# A# D#
Disarmed by your charm that night, I felt it again
G#
Addictive and consuming
D#
Love's sweet pain
[Chorus]
A#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
G# D#
All summer
Fm
It'll be sad my friend
G#
To see it come to an end

[Bridge]
Gm
Our days are as the wind blows us
D#
We are free
G#
You've a quiet life out of town
A# D#
Of coastal ease
Gm
And the wind, it has no pattern
D#
We take life slow
G#
And when the night has fallen
A#
Our cup overflows
[Verse 4]
Cm
When the summer's gone
A# D#
And the room is cold
G# Cm
When you're looking at the rain
A# D#
And it just won't go
G#
Remember when the sun was hot
A# D#
And high up above
G#
Remember when the days were long
D#
And we were in love
[Chorus]
A#
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
G# D#
All summer
Fm
It'll be sad, my friend
G#
To see it come to an end
