"Wrong Man" - Matt Corby     (B - F# - Eb - Bbm/A#Dim)
I think this is the basics of it, I feel the Eb could be a dominant could but needs changes to the Bb to fit.
The rhythm is an eight bar pattern, which repeats.
B                              F#    Eb      Bbm
You know you're talking to the wrong man, my friend
I was on the fence
BWasting time iF#n future teEbnse
And all I came here for Bbmwas finding Blove to F#help me understand my ownEb  
It's unBbmdefendable
