Post chorus is drums just throw an open and let ring out till the verse is repeated. The
bridge is the riff from the second part of the verse strummed out.
Bringing back the dead for us to love
One of my favorite songs on the cd, the chorus is covered up by the third guitar effect
but live you hear me more.
