Everywhere is calm

The bull and the bear 
C     Cmaj7      C    Cmaj7
are marking their territories
C     Cmaj7      C    Cmaj7
They're leading the blind
C     Cmaj7      C    Cmaj7
with their international glories
Eb                    Dm
I('m the) screen, the blinding light

I('m the) screen, I work at night

C      Cmaj7      C       Cmaj7
I cried the other night
C      Cmaj7      C       Cmaj7
I can't even say why
C      Cmaj7      C       Cmaj7
flourescent, flat, caffeine lights
C      Cmaj7      C       Cmaj7
It's furious balancing

My night is colored headache grey
C         Dm          Am       Em
Don't wake me
C         D           G
(you're) so much
C         Dm          Am      Em
The ocean machine is set to night
C         D          G
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine

The D in the chorus feels off to me

+14

I think the D in the chorus should be Dm?

+11

The chords seem good, but I think everyone would appreciate it if you could put them by all of the words, not just some, even though they're the same.
