Words that rhyme with Chose
Most songwriters treat chose as a workaday word, but the phonology underneath matters: one-syllable, vowel on a back-of-the-mouth /oส/, ending that tails through a fricative. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Take the rhyme counts on their own terms: perfect rhymes turn up in abundance, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Take the lyric role separately and it's a word everyone uses. Begin with the perfect list โ it carries plenty before the slant columns are needed.

Why chose rhymes the way it does
Chose sits on a back-of-the-mouth /oส/, transcribed /o/ in our engine, and tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 84 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 125, assonance 5,536, and consonance 558. 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. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Chose works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
