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

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

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