The timing of this phrase is constant, but the timing of the lyrics is not, so listen closely to the song to get the feel for how the words fit on top of this. The chords are all played in this form, (even in the bridge and chorus sections) although simpler versions will also sound decent. The bracketed chords in the bridge section are played very quickly (you may choose to skip them).
