I’m a bit confused of what you actually want. Do you want to avoid having the 
repeat bars in the middle of the measure? Then you could do it the traditional 
way:

%%%
\version "2.24.3"

intro = \relative c' {  g' f e d c b a  g }
melody = \relative c' \new Voice = "verse" {
  a
  \repeat volta 3 {
    b c d \new Voice = "chorus" { e f g a } a,
  }
}
verseA = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "1."
  This is verse one
}
verseBstub = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "2." This
}
verseB = \lyricmode {
  \skip This
  \set stanza = "(2.)"
  is verse two
}
verseCstub = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "3." This
}
verseC = \lyricmode {
  \skip This
  \set stanza = "(3.)"
  is verse three
}
chorusWords = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "Refrain."
  This is the chorus
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \partial 4
      \intro
      \melody
    }
    \new Lyrics = "mainlyrics" \lyricsto "verse" { \verseA \verseBstub }
    \context Lyrics = "mainlyrics" \lyricsto "chorus" \chorusWords
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" { \verseB \verseCstub }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" { \verseC }
  >>
  \layout { }
}
%%%

Cheers,
Valentin
