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.
