I really love this song. It's didn't catch my attention, until I saw the MTV, which after that, I was really moved and touched by the lyrics and the content of the whole movie.
I was really lucky to have downloaded the piano score :P

Fmaj7 | G7 | Gm7 | Gb7
Fmaj7 is tonic chord
G7 is alteration of supertonic chord to major instead of minor
Gm7 is the normal supertonic chord
Gb7 is a substitution of the dominant chord C7.. we call it the tritone subsitution
tritone substition is to subsitute the original dominant seventg chord with another dominant seventh chord a diminished fifth away...
other examples of tritone subsitution include
G7 becomes Db7
A7 becomes Eb7
Bb7 becomes E7

This is my own interpretation of the songs. Comments are most welcome :)
Dmaj7 | F#m7 | Am7 B7 | Em7 |
Edim7 | Dmaj7 F#7 Bm7 | Em7 | A7 |
- Am7 B7 | Em7
> Modulation from D major => Em chord.
> Am7 and B7 is the IV and V of Em chord.

F | E | Am | Gm C | F | E | Am
Explanation:-
This song is in Am key.
This song is in Am key.
It starts with chord VI - V - I (F | E | Am)
Then it modulates to F key, with modulation of II - V - I (Gm | C | F)
At last, it modulates back to Am key with a V - I (E | Am)
so, by applying some 7ths to the chords, we can make the song more jazz like. How?
The 1st F | E | Am are VI - V - I of Am, so it should turn out like Fmaj7 - E7 - Am7
1st modulation of Gm C | F are II - V - I of Fkey, so it should be Gm7 - C7 - Fmaj7
2nd modulation of E | Am are V - I of Am, so it should be E7 - Am7
And the final result :-
Fmaj7 | E7 | Am7 | Gm7 C7 | Fmaj7 | E7 | Am7

using A harmonic minor as an example
the notes from the A harmonic scale is as follow :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
A B C D E F G#
stacking up 4 notes a third apart starting with each note of the scale to form seventh chords , u get this
tonic : A C E G#
supertonic : B D F A
mediant : C E G# B
subdominant : D F A C
dominant : E G# B D
submediant : F A C E
leading note : G# B D F
then calculate them one by one to see what kind of seventh chord they form, u get (according the same order as above)
Ammaj7
Bm7b5
Cmaj7#5
Dm7
E7
Fmaj7
G#dim7

Normally, modulations are achieved by adding a 5th chord of the destined key as a passing chord. Some times a 2nd is added.
Let's say we want to modulate key1 to key2, here's a brief description of how it can be achieved:-
Key1(any chord) -> chord ii of key2 -> chord v of key2 -> chord i of key2
To make things clear, let's take an example. Let's say we want to modulate from A minor -> F major. This is how it goes:-

That's basically how a modulation works :)

This is the basic of using the 7th note on a Major key.
Chord i -> Maj7
Chord i -> Maj7 -> CEGB
Chord i -> Maj7
Chord ii -> Min7
Chord iii -> Min7
Chord iv -> Maj7
Chord v -> Dom7
Chord vi -> Min7
Chord vii -> Min7Flat5
In order to make things clearer, let's take C major as an example.

Chord vi -> Min7 -> ACEG
Chord vii -> Min7Flat5 -> BDFA
