Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
here's  the silhouette  the  face always turned away
the  bleeding color gone  to black  dying like a day
couldn't  figure out  what made you so unhappy
 shook your head to  say no no no
 
 and stopped for a spell and stayed away
oh  well okay
i  got  pictures  i just  don't see it anymore
climbing hour upon  hour through a total bore
with  the one i keep  where it never fades
 in the safety  of a pitch black  mind
 
 an airless cell that blocks the day
 oh well  okay  the em of the solo starts on "okay"
 IEm  I  I
if  you get a feeling  next time  you see me
 do me a favor  and let me know
 cos it's hard  to tell  it's hard  to say
  E7 Dm repeat that over and over
 oh well okay
 Fm7/D# is 1st fret d string -2nd on g -2nd on b -2nd on e
 Em7/Cis 4th fret a string -2nd on d - open g- open b- open e
 DM7 is open d string - 2nd on g - 2nd on b - 2nd on e
 the rest you probably know...
 Chadwick
 I just wanted to add the solo for "oh well, okay"
 with a slide...
