 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 words,  and I'll be music
 Ain't you heard,  that's how they do  it?
 You're a 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 something  to say
 Chords:
 x55433 or 355433
(maj7)  x76555
(maj7)  x02110
 I'll be words,  and you'll be music
 I concur,  I can't refuse  it
 You're a sad  little tune by yourself
 So lovely  I wanna sing along
 If there's one  thing I know I can tell,
 when we  get together  we're a song
 Chords:
(5) xxx210
 Whenever  I'm with you it's true  it's
Everything  you say and do it's
Words  and music, you and I
 Notes: Same chords as VERSE2.
 Listen here,  I've gotta say  it
 It's so clear,  the way we should play  it
 I will carry you,  together  we'll float through the sky
 We can marry too,  together  just look  at us fly
 Notes: Same chords as previous CHORUS.
 Whenever  I'm with you it's true  it's
Everything  you say and do it's
Words  and music, you and I
 Chords:
 xx0231 or 557765
+  xx3221 or xx7665
 xx0211 or 557565

(5) xxx210
 When  we fight it's rock and roll
 When we make it up, it's soul
 And in the meanwhile, freestyle, play-by-ear,  improvise
 It's clear  we go together,  it's been  like this forever
You  and I are words  and  music
 Notes:
 * these chords have no 5th
 Chords:
 Whenever  I'm with you it's true  it's
Everything  you say  and do  it's true
You  and I are, you  and I are
You  and I are words  and mu - sic
