How can I insert this text in between staves?

mytext = \markup { \tiny \italic "Repeat Chorus after every verse " }

The only place I can seem to place it is *outside* the score - either before or after it. I've tried putting it in other places too, to no avail. If I put it before or after the score it just appears at the top of the score on the first page.
--------------------------------------

\paper {
    system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0.3) (padding . 2) )
    markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0.3) (padding . 2) )        %re-aligns the first page to th top
    %ragged-last-bottom = ##f
    ragged-bottom = ##f
}

chorus= \new Voice = "chorus" \relative c'' {
    g a b c d \break
}
verses = \new Voice = "verses" \relative c'' {
    g a b c d \break
}
chorusLyrics = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "chorus" {
    These are the words to the chorus
}
firstVerse = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
    The words to my song
}
secondVerse = \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verses" {
    Other words go here
}

\score{
<<
    \new Staff { \chorus \myText \pageBreak \myText \verses }
     \chorusLyrics
    \firstVerse
    \secondVerse

>>
\layout{}
}

I'm only guessing where you want to place it (since you didn't say more than "between"), but if you want it at the bottom of the chorus/verse section, then just attach it to a note on that particular staff and direct it down/up-ward, respectively:

chorus = \new Voice = "chorus" \relative c'' {

g a b c d_\myText \break

}

verses = \new Voice = "verses" \relative c'' {

g^\myText a b c d \break

}
