It's campy and hackish, but enter your lyrics as "%" and "|" (or whatever
symbols you want).  Write it like this:

Dm7       G7         Dm7       G7         Em7       A7 
%    %    %    %  |  %    %    %    %  |  %    %    %    %  | 

et cetera, and so on.

Hopefully someone'll be able to give you a better suggestion though...
