How to preserve spaces between characters when using Html.fromHtml()?

Question

Android

Context:
mobile application with songs and chords for singing along with the guitar.
Task:
It is necessary that the chords are indicated above the words in the text of the song. Chords should be in bold . In this case, the chords should be located above those parts of the text where the transition to this particular chord is necessary - this task is implemented by placing spaces between the chords above the text of the song itself.
Problem:
If I use the Html.fromHtml(mydata), (where mydata is html formatted) method to highlight the chords themselves, the spaces between the chords are slid off and displayed as if there were no spaces between them.
Added screenshots for clarity.
