So try this:
^\s*([A-Z\dm♭#dim]+\s+)+
it’s working on this example:
E B7 E A Am E
This is a line of a song
E
This is a line of a song
B7 E E7
This is a line of a song
A
This is a line of a song
E
This is a line of a song
B7
This is a line of a song
E A Am E
This is a line of a song
A# E A Am E
This is a line of a song
A♭ Adim E A Am E
This is a line of a song
