Transition back to Chorus after Bridge: Just keep repeating that last D chord a few more
bars then go right into the chorus.
The bridge can be hard to discern and I know other people play different chords.
Instead of the F#m, you can also try barring a C#m7 at the 9th fret, which sounds good.
You could also play the F#m at the 9th fret.
