[Verse 1]

     C
Your beauty took my breath away,

    Am  D   G
in awe all day

      C
Your company was so relaxing,

      Am  D  G
easy-going ways

   C
We saw the first signs of summer and

  Am    D     G
spring-time change

        C
Walking barefoot along the sand,

            Am   D   G
I hadn’t planned to stay

[Chorus]

     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot

     C   G
all summer

Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,

    C                
to see it come to an end

         Am   D   G
Why can’t we just quit?

[Interlude] (x2) Am D C G [Verse 2]

C
You were broke all summer,

     Am   D    G
but you still sing

           C
Don’t need money when it's sunny,

           Am D G
don’t need anything

           C
Just need music and sun and laughter

        Am D G
and no currency,

 C
The sun on your bare shoulders,

          Am    D     G
yeah, it comes for free

[Chorus]

     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot

     C   G
all summer

It'll be sad, my friend,

to see it come to an end

         Am   D   G
Why can’t we just quit?

      D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot

     C  G
all summer

Am                    
Why can’t we just design

    C
to live like this all the time?

         Am  D    G
Why can’t we just quit?

[Interlude] (x2) Am D C G [Verse 3]

C
Sand ran through my fingers

         Am   D   G
and the land was hot

C
Anointed by Apollo

        Am D G
and his chariot

C
Disarmed by your charm,

              Am  D   G
that night I felt it again

C
Addictive and consuming,

 Am      D    G
love’s sweet pain

[Chorus]

     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot

     C   G
all summer

Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,

    C                
to see it come to an end

         Am   D   G
Why can’t we just quit?

[Bridge]

D
Our days are as the wind blows us,

G
we are free

         C
We've a quiet life out of town

    Am   D  G
of coastal ease

D
The wind, it has no pattern,

G
we take life slow

      C
And when the night has fallen

        Am    D
our cup overflows

[Verse 4]

Am 
When the summer's gone

and the room is cold

Am 
When you're looking at the rain

and it just wont go

C 
Remember when the sun was high,

Am D  G
up above?

C
Remember when the days were long

        Am  D   G
and we were in love?

[Chorus]

     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot

     C   G
all summer

Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,

    C                
to see it come to an end

         Am   D   G
Why can’t we just quit?

      D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot

     C  G
all summer

Am                    
Why can’t we just design

    C
to live like this all the time?

         Am  D    G
Why can’t we just quit?

[Outro] (x4) Am D C G
