Words that rhyme with Adjustable
You can read adjustable two ways: as an abstract noun, or as a four-syllable shape on the front-and-flat /æ/ that spills out through a liquid consonant. Abstract words like this work best when the surrounding line is sensory. The vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from, family-rhyme territory comes up dry, and perfect rhymes are not on the table. Type rhymes for adjustable into any dictionary and the answer is roughly the same: the pull is toward slant work. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why adjustable rhymes the way it does
The phonology of adjustable is a four-syllable core: the short /æ/ (/æ/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 20, assonance 5,284, and consonance 8. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. In practice: start at the top of the perfect column, scan family next, and reach for the assonance pool when the strict matches feel worn. A lyric that uses only strict rhymes for adjustable tends to read as dated; the contemporary ear forgives — and often prefers — the slant.
