Bridge:

I think maybe there's a second guitar track under here playing
chords only.

Then go back to the bridge and repeat the rest of it from there.
The second chorus has a bit of lead under it but I can't figure
it out.

Outro:

eb|--0----12*--------------|  These are the right harmonics
Bb|--0-----------7*----7*--|  but the order moves around a
Gb|--0--------5*----7*-----|  bit so listen to it to get
Db|--2---------------------|  it right!
Ab|--2---------------------|
Eb|--0---------------------|

eb|------------------|
Bb|------------------|
Gb|--9--5-------7-7--| Repeat lots of times
Db|--9--5--5-5--7-7--|
Ab|--7--3--5-5--5-5--|
Eb|--0-----3-3-------|

The lead bit over the top of this is something like this:

eb|----------777-----------|
Bb|------88-----101010-77--|
Gb|--9999--99--------------|
Db|------------------------|
Ab|------------------------|
Eb|------------------------|
    [--pm----------open--]

Then you play the second bar of the outro a few more times,
changing the intensity and timing a little. It all ends on
a low Ebm:

eb|--0--|
Bb|--0--|
Gb|--0--|
Db|--2--|
Ab|--2--|
Eb|--0--|

All done! I'm sure this is far from right but it sounds OK. I think
the actual song uses more full barre chords (Jade usually does that)
and I think the "twiddly" bits in the second verse may be an octave
higher than what I've written here (or played as octave chords).
