Note - the Dm(7M)-B7M run during the chorus is just my attempt to include the bass line run in an acoustic accompaniment. When researching the names for these chords the chord that I have labeled as Dm(7M) was also marked as D m7 (which didn't jive with my understanding of theory and chord building) and as an F6 (which it is, just inverted).
