I think the AmM7 fits just fine. One thing I would add to fill before playing the Dm in each verse.
*Example*
(pants are to tight) is A7 no3(0400), A7sus4(0200), Am7(0000).

Missing an indicator for the first chord. :(

____ Major 7th? And then the only other major 7th on there is E and it doesn't fit in the error spot.
