Hi, I am Rita. I transcribe piano sheets for popular music. All my sheet music are accurate but simple, beginner-level transcriptions with lyrics (singing is good for health) and harmonic chords. I consider reasonable requests. Sometimes I post free files, don't miss it!

Please, notice that the vocals are written using a treble clef with the numeral 8 below it 𝄠 (a suboctave clef). This indicates that pitches sound one octave below the written score. Play the right hand one octave lower than written.
I also doubled note values* to make sightreading easier for beginners. The track isn't recorded in the 2/2 time.
Imitate the vocal delivery by Dan Reynolds or it won't sound as the song. The vocal part is relatively rigid and precisely timed, but it produces not much of a melody for the right hand. The melodic line is built on repetition of one note. The composition lacks intervallic saturation thus its artistic meaning and expression suffer.
The places of an indefinite pitch I notated it as chanting on the tonic note.
A predominant vocal style is *staccato.
"Eyes Closed" is played with a straight rhythm in common time. It is easy to count for beginners; accent strong beats to maintain a steady pulse. Practice slowly along with the recording.
I added several bars (99—105, 114—115) for you to play comfortably the run-on phrases.
A single vocal line accompanied by an instrumental part constitutes the entire musical texture. "Eyes Closed" has a semi-improvised, loosely organized and wandering melody and homophonic arrengement: the instrumental part provides a harmony to support the vocal but lacks its own melody.
"Eyes Closed" is transcribed in the original key, E Flat Minor, and uses basic major and minor chords E♭m Fm A♭m G♭ B♭m. A chord change creates a meaningful harmonic progression.
The aesthetic value of a melodic line is achieved through the use of repetition.
Of course I consider filling your *requests* of sheet music except for not popular tracks.
