Words that rhyme with Bode
You can read bode two ways: as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, or as a one-syllable shape on the round /oส/ that snaps shut on a stop. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. What the engine returns: there's plenty in the strict column, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why bode rhymes the way it does
The phonology of bode is a one-syllable core: the open /oส/ (/o/), then it ends with a clean stop. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 80 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 117, assonance 5,833, and consonance 703. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Bode reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
