Words that rhyme with Fatigue
You can read fatigue two ways: as a workaday word, or as a three-syllable shape on the mid /ษ/ that doesn't close on a consonant at all. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. From the rhyme-data side: the perfect column carries weight on its own, no family rhymes survive the strict family test, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. From the lyric side, it works as a workaday word. Start strict, scan family, and only reach for assonance when the line wants slant.

Why fatigue rhymes the way it does
Fatigue is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the short /ษ/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 56 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 338, assonance 4,889, and consonance 215. 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. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Fatigue is a word that benefits from the second pass.
