1.  Silent Henry clears out
    G           A      
    his bedroom drawers.
           G            A
    Throws away the magazines.

    They don't thrill him anymore.

Refrain: 'Cause Henry's looking for the real thing.
                 E                A
         No more lonely nights at home.

         Tired of being alone.

2.  He walks into a fern bar.
    Drinks 'til his fear subsides.
    Get lucky.  Then gets nervous.
    Goes home and cries.

bridge:  This is not what he wanted.
            D                      E
         He just wanted someone to care.


refrain:

3.  Next day at the office.
    Returns a long list of calls.
    Smiles at the new secretary
    as they pass in the hall.

Refrain: Henry, keep looking for the real thing.
         No more lonely nights at home.
         Henry, keep looking for the real thing.
         You don't have to be alone.
