E|-----------------|-----------------|-3--3--3--3------|-1--1--1--1------|
This continues for the first verse and until the end of the chorus ("My dissonant tones").
Here, it simply shortens each chord and skips the Ami7:
e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B|----1--1--1-1----|---1--1--1--1----|---1--1--1--1----|
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|--3--3--3--3-----|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-3--3--3--3------|-1--1--1--1------|
The second verse and chorus go exactly the same way.
The bridge is a bit different. It cuts out at the beginning and then comes back in:
e|------------------|-----------------|
B|----0--0--0--0----|---1--1--1--1----|
G|------------------|-----------------|
D|---------------x2-|--------------x2-|
A|------------------|-----------------|
E|--3--3--3--3------|--1--1--1--1-----|
This repeats until the end of the bridge, where it ends on that F.
Finally, it comes back in with the main pattern, which continues until
the strummed final chorus (see chords below).
You could also just play the chords, or a sort of finger picking in-between, which is what I would recommend.
