Bar
1 2 3 4
VERSE
Am /F#m7b5 F /Am /E7+
Am /F#m7b5 F /? /?
CHORUS
F2 Gsus /Am /F2 Gsus /Am
F2 Gsus /Am /F G /Am
The best I've managed to come up with is the "Asus" chord in the last question mark - what the hell works in-between F and an Asus chord!!! I like the vibe of it but everything I've tried just sound cheesy - especially when following the circle of 5th's. You know putting a C chord in the first question mark works but it sounds cheesy and ruins the minor vibe. Any of you proper musicians gizza a hand please?

If that sounds too vanilla, perhaps you might like an Amin chord over top of C in the bass... again leading to the dominant E7.
a truly 'classical' approach would be to simply do an Amin over E for the first ? then resolve it to E7. But regardless, to my ear, it really wants to go there eventually.
Why don't you like goin to C? Were you then following the circle to G? THAT would be cheesy, yes, but where were you going with it?
