[Chorus]
For the lead into Bridge, I can't hear exactly what was played because they made it all cool and weird
but you could follow the notes for "whole" by playing
G|-------2--4--|
D|-4--5--------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|x2
[Bridge] You can optionally let the open G string ring out for a little.
Lead into chorus is just playing the chorus x1, and you continue playing the chorus as many times as you
play the chorus.
End by plaing the open E string.
