But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone 3x
================================================================
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<--16>--14>--16>--14>------------------|
G|-----------------------------11------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|

(lick before bridge)

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
