The Reign Of Kindo - Breathe Again

This is a great fluid jazz style composition.
You can (and should) drop some of the chords and play a bit off-beat, where you think it works.
Try adding leading chords, as well. Such as the D leading to E in the verses.
Add some neighbor notes to fill the sound as you see fit.

[Verse 1]
Dm          E         Am               Fmaj7
Snow in the air as it rides the winter breeze
Dm          E       Am               Fmaj7
Crystals of ice are hanging from the trees
    E          Fmaj7         Am                 Fmaj7
The morning of Christmas has arrived in its due time
    Cm           Bb             A           D
The children are waiting, their joy becomes mine

[Verse 2]
   Dm             E          Am             Fmaj7
We march down the stairs and into the other room
    Dm             E             Am              Fmaj7 (Dm)
The lights shining bright on the tree for all to view
    E         Fmaj7             Am               Fmaj7
The window is shattered and the presents are all gone
            Dm          E                   Am
And all the cries of my children wrote this song

[Chorus 1]
    A                     Fmaj7
And I swear when I get my hands on him
            Cmaj7                (Cmaj7/E)
He'll never breathe again, never breathe again
  A                      Fmaj7
I won't stop tearing him limb from limb
            Cmaj7                (Cmaj7/E)
He'll never breathe again, never breathe again

(Dm, E, Am, Fmaj7) x2

[Bridge]
  E         Fmaj7            Am          Fmaj7
I get in my car to chase the only set of tracks
  Cm        Bb          A          D
A gun in my hands and a bag in the back

[Verse 3]
Dm          E       Am                 Fmaj7
Deep in the slums I saw him with their toys
   Dm           E           Am                Fmaj7 (Dm)
My gunshot rang out but the snow absorbed the noise
  E             Fmaj7      Am              Fmaj7
I bagged up his body and I threw it in the car
             Dm             E             Am
With all the toys that he'd carried oh so far

[Chorus 2]
A                 Fmaj7
Now that I got my hands on him
      Cmaj7                (Cmaj7/E)
I can breathe again, I can breath again
A                    Fmaj7
Finally I've rid the world of him
      Cmaj7                (Cmaj7/E)
And I can breathe again, I can breath again

[Verse 4]
Dm          E            Am               Fmaj7
Back at the house all my children were so sad
           Dm       E                 Am                     Fmaj7 (Dm)
When their presents returned then not but joy they'll surely have
  E            Fmaj7       Am             Fmaj7
I drove to the river and I threw the body in
           Dm           E              Am (A)
And no one else will be paying for his sin

[Chorus 3]
A                   Fmaj7
Something screaming inside me says that
      Cmaj7                (Cmaj7/E)
I can breathe again, I can breath again
A                      Fmaj7
Judge me all that your hearts desire
          Cmaj7                (Cmaj7/E)
But I can breathe again, I can breath again
