================================================================
for electric rhythm part in the bridge, I get this:
the electric guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb

Starting with that lick before the bridge, which would now be
< = stretch up
> = release back down
+ = hammer-on


e|-------------------------------------------|
B|--14--14>--16>--14>------------------|
G|-----------------------------11------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
(lick before bridge)

CHORDS(pick these notes out of the chord and hammer on where noted)
  E     B    A    E     E  B  A  E
e|--------------------------------------------7--------------------12|
B|---0--------------------------------9--9----7--14------------------|
G|--1------------------------------------9----8--14-----13+-14-13----|
D|-2-----------1+-2-------2------8+-9----9----9--14--14----------14--|
A|-----------2--------0-4------7-------------------------------------|

 You struck me dumb          Like radium  mm mm

   G#m C#m   G#m C#m  (powerchords)B A E
Like peter pan or superman    You will come
 G#m7 C#m7       E B E
To save me Come on and save me
       E G#m7 C#m7
If you could save me

     B      B+      G#m       C#
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------4------------4-------------4--------------6-------------------|
G|--------4------------4-------------4--------------6-------------------|
D|--------4------------5-------------6--------------6-------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
From the ranks of the freaks who suspect they could never love anyone 3x

A regular verse at that tuning would be:
 G#m  G#m-maj7 G#m7 G#m6   B  E  B  D#
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4--------4------4-----4------4----0---4----6-----------|
G|-4--------4------4-----4------4----1---4----6-----------|
D|-6--------5------4-----3------4----2---4----6-----------|
A|------------------------------2----2---2----8-----------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
 You look like      a perfect fit  etc.

That would be an arrangement to play electric guitar, tuned down 1/2 step,
all the way thru, just playing quietly until the bridge
