Words that rhyme with Pace
The phonetic facts first: pace is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the gliding /eษช/, and the line ends in a hissed consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Engine returns: you won't run short of perfect rhymes, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, the assonance pool has more matches than any verse will use. Lyric returns: a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why pace rhymes the way it does
In our engine, pace registers as a one-syllable word on a front-of-the-mouth /eษช/ (/a/) that trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 131 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 182, assonance 5,760, and consonance 463. 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. Pace works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
