Why tiresome rhymes the way it does
In our engine, tiresome registers as a three-syllable word on the round /oส/ (/o/) that 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 138, assonance 3,155, and consonance 16. 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. Tiresome is a word that benefits from the second pass.
