leadsheet with intro an lyrics

Hi all I'm writing a leadsheet with chords and lyrics. How can I let the lyrics start after 4 bars of "intro"? At the moment my score looks like that: \score { { << \chords { ... } \relative c' { ... } >> << \chords { ... } \relative c' { ... } \addlyrics { ... } >> } \header { ...
