Words that rhyme with Symptom
Symptom works as a common-tongue word on the lyric side and two-syllable the round /ษ/ on the sound side โ it lets the nasal carry the tail at the close. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. This one travels in song as a quotidian anchor. Rhymes for symptom, broken down across five types, look like this: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own.

Why symptom rhymes the way it does
Symptom is two-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the round /ษ/, then it ends on a humming nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 26, assonance 13,019, and consonance 0. 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. 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. Symptom is a word that benefits from the second pass.
