Biography:
Dire Straits were a British rock band from Newcastle, United Kingdom, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals), his brother David Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass), and Pick Withers (drums), and subsequently managed by Ed Bicknell. The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk.

No guarantees - I took the chords down by listening and now I'll just try
to recall them (don't have my guitar handy...) but something like this:
I'll just give a clue of the lyrics instead of writing them all down...
Dm7 A7
Well I wonder where U R 2 nite probably on a rampage...
F G7
You have been known to take... in getting in somebody's....
Bb A7 Dm7 A7
Always had the knack 2 fade to black
Dm7 A7
I betcha already made your pass..... I see a darkened room somewhere...
..and so on. It's a good song, hope this helps!
