The attached lilypond file has the chords above the music, but some of
them are closer to the staff than I would think was appropriate.  Is
this user-configurable, or is it a general problem with above-staff
text?

Hide your heart from sight, lock your dreams at night, 
it could hap- pen to you.  Don't count stars or you might stum- ble;  
some- one drops a sigh, and down you tum- ble,  
keep an eye on spring, run when church bells ring,  it could hap- pen to you.  
All I did was won- der how your arms would be,  and it hap- pened to me!

(Atte, notice how I implemented your diminished notation.  Does this
look the way you want it to?)
