You can't really put the text in a Staff and have ChordNames appear
between the text and the staff, because ChordNames is a context kind of
like a staff in itself. Trying to position it in the middle of a Staff
context is a recipe for annoyance. But if you're willing to define the
text separately, you could create a Dynamics context and put your text
there to get a similar visual effect. The nonstaff-nonstaff padding
override can be varied to taste; without it, the text collides with the
top of the ChordNames in an unsightly way.

\time 4/4
\key c \major

\global
\clef treble
a2 f2 |
g4 g4 g8[ f8] e4 |
d4. e8 f4 e4 |
