I play most 7-chord like they are diplayd below. Kind of blues-chords as I was taught some time ago.
You can get it groooving really good this way, as you are almost sliding down Hm7-A7-G7---F7.

HmFriday left me F#7fumblin' with the HmbluF#7es Hm
Hm7 A7 G7 F#7*
And it's hard to win when you always lose
Because the Hm7nightspotsA7 spend your G7spirit
Hm7* E7
beat your head against the wall
Hmtwo dead-ends you F#7still got to HmchoF#7ose Hm
You know the HmbartendersF#7 they all know my HmnamF#7e Hm
Hm7 A7 G7 F#7*
and they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
Hm7 A7 G7 F#7* Hm7* E7
and I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyester shaking my head
Hmwhen I should be F#7living cleanHm inF#7 steHmad
You know the Hmladies I've been F#7seeing off and Hmon F#7 Hm
Hm7 A7 G7 F#7*
well they spend your love then they're gone
Hm7 A7 G7 F#7* Hm7* E7
you can't be loving someone who is savage and cruel
HmTake your F#7love and then they Hmleave oF#7n out of Hmtown... No they do...

When I'm falling in love, It's such a breeze
but it's standing up that's so hard for me
I wanna sqeeze you but I'm scared to death I'll break your back instead
You know your perfume, well it won't let me be
You know the bartenders they all know my name
and they'll catch me when I'm pulling up lame
and I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
when I should be living clean in stead
so come on baby, let your love light shine
gotta bury me inside of your fire
cause your eyes are enough to blind me
you're like a-looking at the sun
you gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
