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

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

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