[Verse 1]
G Bm
Your beauty took my breath away
A D
In awe all day
G Bm
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
Em
It'll be sad, my friend
G
To see it come to an end
A D
Why can't we just quit?
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Bm
You are broke all summer
A D
But you still sing
Bm
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
Em
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
Em
Why can't we just design
G
To live like this all the time?
A D
Why can't we just quit?

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