[Verse]
C              Em             Am    G
 One thing was leading to the next
F                            G
 I bit off more than I could chew
C          Em                Am     G
 I had the power to sign the checks
Fmaj7                   G
 It wasn't difficult to do
 
 
[Chorus]
                              Em Am
 I couldn't stay and face the music
F                G
 So many reasons why
                    Em  Am
 I won't be sending postcards
F         C              G    E7        Am
 From Paraguay, from Paraguay, from Paraguay

[Verse]
C           Em             Am    G
 I robbed a bank full of dinero
F                      G
 A big old mountain of dough
C          Em            Am     G
 So it was goodbye companero
Fmaj7      G
 And cheerio
 
 
[Chorus]

 I couldn't stay and face the music

 I won't be sending postcards

 I never meant to be a cheater
F                           G
 But there was blood on the wall
C         Em         Am     G
 I had to steal from Peter
Fmaj7                  G
 To pay what I owed to Paul
 
 
[Chorus]
                              Em Am
 I couldn't stay and face the music
F                G
 So many reasons why

No, Fmaj7 is correct. Dm makes it sound very Paul Simon!

Instead of Fmaj7 try Dm. Also, I think that the Em in the first line works better with a G. In the second line, a C after the F transitions better. One last detail. In line 7 of the lyrics an E7 sounds a bit better
