This is how I personally play it and I worked it out from a combination of

I thought I'd add mine too (:

Bridge:
 
You could really do anything here but what I do is strum each of these chords once
and sing the melody (do do do do etc) then slowly build up to more strumming into a rhythm
 
Em  C   G   D/F#
 
And then back into the chorus strumming the chords!
 
 
At the end I normally do an outro of this:
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------0--------------------------------------0---------------------|
G|--0-----2-----------2--0-----2--0--------0--------0-----0------------------|
D|--------2-----------------2-----------2--------0-----------0---------------|
A|-----2-----2-----2-----3-----------3--------2-----------------2------------|
E|--0--------------------------------------3---------------------------------|
 
e|----------------------|
B|--1--0----------------|
G|--------2--0--2--0----|
D|----------------------|
A|----------------------|
E|--2-------------------|
 
And then end on a final strum of G
 
 
 
 
Enjoy (:
