Words that rhyme with Chaos
Singers reaching for chaos find a low-register anchor on the surface and a one-syllable core on the front /ษ/ underneath โ one that trails off into a fricative. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. From the rhyme-data side: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. From the lyric side, it works as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why chaos rhymes the way it does
In our engine, chaos registers as a one-syllable word on the centred /ษ/ (/ษ/) that trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 144, assonance 5,897, and consonance 496. 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. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Chaos is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
