The second Am(maj7) might be an easier transition from the Fm(maj7) because

you're just sliding the voicing down to the 1st fret. Just a suggestion...

(maj7) x76555

(maj7) x02110

You be G#mb5words, and I'll be music

Ain't you G#mb5heard, that's how they do it?

You're a G#mb5 poem when you're on your own

 I'll try not to get in your way

 But of all the pretty poems I have known,

 Baby, you give me G#mb5something to say

Verse2

I'll be G#mb5words, and you'll be music

I conG#mb5cur, I can't refuse it

 So lovely I wanna sing along

 If there's one thing I know I can tell,

 when we get toG#mb5gether we're a Bmb5song  Dmb5

Listen G#mb5here, I've gotta say it

 When we fight it's rock and roll

You and I are words and music
