Bridge:

Secondary Bridge is almost the same as the Pre-Chorus, except the verse riff changes a bit.
You play this riff once:
|------------------|------------------|------------------|--------3---------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------1-----0-----|
|----2-4---2-4---2-|--0-0-2-4-0-2-4-0-|----2-4---2-4---2-|--2-4---------2-0-|
|--2-----2-----2---|------------------|--4-----4-----4---|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
And then this once
|------------------|------------------|------------------|--------3-|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------1---|
|----2-4---2-4---2-|--0-0-2-4-0-2-4-0-|----2-4---2-4---2-|--2-4-----|
|--2-----2-----2---|------------------|--4-----4-----4---|----------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|----------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|----------|
Or you can play the chords, which are the same as the pre-chorus.
The final chord of the song is Em.
