Words that rhyme with Verbatim
For the rhyme search, what matters about verbatim is this: three-syllable, vowel on the clipped /ษช/, ending that ends on a humming nasal. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Songwriters reach for it as a workaday word. No strict perfect rhymes exist in our dictionary, the family-rhyme list hands over a few solid slants, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why verbatim rhymes the way it does
Pull verbatim apart phonetically and you get a three-syllable word with the tight /ษช/ (/ษช/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 1 match, family rhymes 4, additive and subtractive together 268, assonance 6,572, and consonance 17. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. 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. Verbatim works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
