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

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

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