Do it in \layout

chordStuff = \chords { c1 d:m }

melody = \relative c'' { c4 c c c | d d d d }

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames  { \chordStuff }
    \new Staff { \melody }
  >>
  \layout {
      \context {
        \ChordNames
        \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #10
      }
  }
}
