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

[Verse 2]
Am
You are broke all summer
G C
But you still sing
Am
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
Dm
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
Dm
Why can't we just design
F
To live like this all the time?
G C
Why can't we just quit?

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