1. ALWAYS provide a minimal working example whenever possible.
2. I'm not sure I understand what you wish to achieve, but is it (very
 roughly and very basically) something like this ?

\version "2.18.2"
\score {
  {
    \new StaffGroup <<
      \new Staff << \new Voice { { c'' c'' c'' c'' \break } }
                    \addlyrics { "Chorus" }
      >>
    >>
    \new StaffGroup <<
      \new Staff << \new Voice { { g' g' g' g' } }
               \addlyrics { "Verse 1" }
               \addlyrics { "Verse 2" }
               \addlyrics { "Verse 3" }
               \addlyrics { "Verse 4" }
               \addlyrics { "Verse 5" }
               \addlyrics { "Verse 6" }
      >>
    >>
  }
}

Kind regards,
Michael
