Words that rhyme with Cha
From a sound-design view, cha is an unguarded everyday word on a low-front /æ/, one-syllable, and it ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. Sketch the rhyme pool and you get the perfect-rhyme pool is one of the deeper ones, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Sketch the lyric role and you get a household-word. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why cha rhymes the way it does
Cha sits on the front-and-flat /æ/, transcribed /æ/ in our engine, and ends on an open vowel. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 55 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1464, assonance 3,525, and consonance 0. 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. Cha reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
