It's difficult to diagnose without a snippet.

Based on your description, I tested 'staff-affinity with the following file:

<<
  \new Staff {
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    \clef bass
    c,1 \break
    \clef treble
    e'''1
  }
  \chords {
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #UP
    c
  }
>>

\paper {
  indent = 0
  ragged-right = ##t
}

You'll probably need to tweak between-system-spacing to add a bit more
space between the chords and the next system.
