A Dynamics may be a solution.
For things like "CHORUS" I'd always use \textMark. It will
automatically be placed on top.
In a ChordNames context TextScript is not supported by default,
additionally the usual direction-modifiers "-" and "^" are already
taken for different purpose. But you could do:
\new ChordNames
\with { \consists Text_engraver }
\chordmode {
d2:m _\tweak direction #UP _\markup "put me above the chordname"
}
